74D-Link DWR-961 User Manual
Section 3 - Conguration
The router has the ability to lter packets based on specic characteristics of Ethernet frames. Filters are used to specify interfaces and broad
guidelines, while rules allow very ne, protocol-specic control over packets. Generic Rules look for a particular pattern within any Ethernet frame.
These features are intended for advanced users and network professionals only, and can safely be ignored by most users.
