Keep State It is used for Data Filter only. Keep State is in the same nature of
modern term Stateful Packet Inspection. If enabled, this rule will be
added to State table when it is matched by a packet. When other
packets in the same session as the matched packet is applied to Data
Filer, they will be checked against the rules in State table first. If
matched, they can pass immediately without having to check any
rule in Data Filter. Only ICMP, TCP and UDP protocols can be
added to State table.
Direction Set the direction of packet flow. It is for Data Filter only. For the
Call Filter, this setting is neglected since Call Filter is only applied
to outgoing traffic.
IN - Specify the rule of filtering incoming packets.
OUT - Specify the rule of filtering outgoing packets.
Protocol Specify the protocol(s) which this filter rule will apply to.
Fragments Specify the action for fragmented packets. And it is used for Data
Filter only.
