Packet Filter; Filters & Rules - D-Link Router User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration
The router has the ability to filter packets based on specific characteristics of Ethernet frames. Filters are used to specify interfaces and broad
guidelines, while rules allow very fine, protocol-specific control over packets. Generic Rules look for a particular pattern within any Ethernet frame.
These features are intended for advanced users and network professionals only, and can safely be ignored by most users.
