Parts of a filter

A filter consists of criteria based on packet attributes. A typical filter can match a packet on any one of the
following attributes:

The source IP address (where the packet was sent from)

The destination IP address (where the packet is going)

The type of higher-layer Internet protocol the packet is carr ying, such as TCP or UDP

Port numbers

A filter can also match a packet’s por t number attributes, but only if the filter’s protocol type is set to TCP or
UDP, since only those protocols use por t numbers. The filter can be configured to match the following:

The source por t number (the por t on the sending host that originated the packet)

The destination por t number (the por t on the receiving host that the packet is destined for)

By matching on a por t number, a filter can be applied to selected TCP or UDP ser vices, such as Telnet, FTP, and
World Wide Web. The following tables show a few common ser vices and their associated por t numbers:
