Urgent - SSP Netmap Inbound nodes limit increase to support 9000+ nodes

Currently, we have 9000+ IPs and CIDR ranges to be whitelisted/allowed on each and every protocol Netmap. After adding all these 9000 entries to a netmap GUI is not responding properly, add/save/edit of new/existing nodes is breaking the entire SSP CM. IBM Support with the ID enclosed requested us to open a RFE to consider increasing the limit of netmap to support 9000+ nodes.

How will this idea be used?

Adding all the 9000 Nodes (IPs and ranges) will allow us to whitelist the incoming traffic which will eliminate the dependency of IPTables
