| Hi, Please let me know how efficient is ipaddress filtering at tcp/ips level compare to user id authentication. |

Filtering by IP address will be faster but that means ALL applications (good or bad or hackers) running on the server with the matching IP address will be allowed in.

The is no such thing as "user id authentication". There is "UserID and Password authentication" which is far, far superior to simply using IP address filtering.
If you are protecting sensitive data then please use "UserID and Password authentication". And if you are worried about speed then buy more hamsters.

Or what appears to be the matching IP address. Apparently there's something called "spoofing" that's been developed....

Or Google "SSL"

One does wonder why the OP has decided the most worrisome bottleneck in the workflow is the authentication at the front rather than all of the rest of the code and components.
But then one reviews some of his other posts, and stops wondering.

It's always better to start your security at the network layer.
So a firewall, for example.
You can then use SSL to ensure that data passing across the network is readable by anyone with a network snoop.
It's not a bad idea to then use ip address filtering, so that you can confirm that the right network locations are allowed to connect.
You can then use UserID and Password Authentication to ensure that the right people have come in from the right set of network locations.
You can then use user mapping to ensure that those people have only and exactly the permissions they should have.
oh, did you think security was simple? |

Sounds a bit like an interview question...
