Figure 26 Accept and Reject Instructions
The following example shows the use of both accept and reject in a
packet filter. This packet filter was created for a network that is running
both Phase I and Phase II AppleTalk software. The goal of the filter is to
eliminate the AppleTalk traffic.
Accept
(Use for OR-ing tests)
Reject
(Use for AND-ing tests)
First test
Nonzero
result?
Accept packet
and terminate
test sequence
Next test
Yes
No
Reject packet
