Table 35 Relational operators for capture filters
Nonalphanumeric
symbol
Description
=
Equal to.
For example,
ip[6]=0x1c
matches an IPv4 packet if its seventh byte of payload is
equal to 0x1c.
!=
Not equal to.
For example,
len!=60
matches a packet if its length is not equal to 60 bytes.
>
Greater than.
For example,
len>100
matches a packet if its length is greater than 100 bytes.
<
Less than.
For example,
len<100
matches a packet if its length is less than 100 bytes.
>=
Greater than or equal to.
For example,
len>=100
matches a packet if its length is greater than or equal to
100 bytes.
<=
Less than or equal to.
For example,
len<=100
matches a packet if its length is less than or equal to 100
