D-Link Router - Packet Filter; Filters & Rules

74D-Link DWR-961 User Manual
Section 3 - Conguration
The router has the ability to lter packets based on specic characteristics of Ethernet frames. Filters are used to specify interfaces and broad
guidelines, while rules allow very ne, protocol-specic 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.
