12-8 CHAPTER 12: CREATING AND USING PACKET FILTERS

Implementing Sequential Tests in a Packet Filter

Filter language expressions are normally evaluated to completion — a packet is accepted if the value remaining on the top of the stack is non-zero. Frequently, however, a single test is insufﬁcient to ﬁlter packets effectively. When more tests are warranted, you want to accept a packet that either:

■Satisﬁes at least one criterion speciﬁed in two or more tests (that is, ORs the results of the tests), or

■Satisﬁes all criteria speciﬁed in two or more tests (ANDs the results of the tests)

The accept and reject instructions are used to implement sequential tests, as shown in Figure 12-2. When using accept or reject, construct the packet ﬁlter so that the tests more likely to be satisﬁed are performed before tests that are less likely to be satisﬁed.

Accept

(Use for OR-ing tests)

Reject

(Use for AND-ing tests)

First test

Non-zero		Yes	Reject packet
