The first three expressions are explained in more detail to provide more info on the mechanism.

  • Page 352: Expression: Ip4 Dst Net 0.0.0.0/0

    The following steps are taken: Transmit 1. IP traffic is entering the MDM9000. 2. The traffic is inserted into the encapsulator. 3. The IP traffic is filtered according to the classification rule. In this case "ip4 dst net 0.0.0.0/0", all IPv4 packets are further processed by the shaping tree (Trafnode and Node Remote MDM4).

    All other traffic is dropped. The following steps are taken: Transmit 1. IP traffic is entering the MDM9000. 2. The traffic is inserted into the encapsulator. 3. The IP traffic is filtered according to the classification rule. In this case "ip4 dst net 10.10.10.0/24", packets complying to this rule are further processed by the shaping tree (Trafnode and Node Remote MDM4).
