Because beside the number of items, there is also a limitation at the nvram storage level, which is in bytes rather than in number of entries. You will need to use shorter labels to save on nvram usage.
May I ask you to increase the limitation at the nvram storage level so, I can fit these for 100 rules?
I can't. I am bound by other limitations that only Broadcom could resolve.
