2. Length - This field refers to the length (in bytes) of the data in the
packet that the Prestige should use for comparison and masking.
The starting point of this data is determined by
Offset . The range
for this field is 0 to 8. Default = 0
3. Mask - In this field, specify (in Hexadecimal) the value that the
Prestige should logically qualify [and] the data in the packet. Since
Length is given in bytes, you need to enter in twice the length
hexadecimal numbers for this field. For example, if Length were 4,
then a valid Mask must have 8 hexadecimal numbers, like
1155ABF8.
4. Value - In this field, specify (in Hexadecimal) the value that the
Prestige should use to compare with the masked packet. The value
should align with
Offset . Since Length is given in bytes, you need
to enter in twice the length hexadecimal numbers for this field. For
example, if
Length were 4, then a valid Value must have 8
hexadecimal numbers, like 1155ABF8. If the result from the
masked packet matches
Value , then the packet is considered
matched.
