(ASCEND) Filters on Ascend Max200+
Is this the correct logic for the filters on the Ascend Max200+
product?
############################################################################
PSEUDOCODE START
set up the "finished filters"
All forward=NO (block) filters are "OR"ed and result is stored in BLOCK_OR
All forward=YES (pass) filters are "OR"ed and result is stored in PASS_OR
apply the "finished filters"
IF No filters are defined: forward all packets.
ELSE
}
IF packet OR ed against BLOCK_OR==TRUE: discard packet at once.
IF packet OR ed against PASS_OR==TRUE: forward packet.
ELSE : discard packet.
}
PSEUDOCODE END

I think the specific logic really does make a difference in the way the
filters are set up. For example if the above logic is correct the practice
of following several specific "Forward=NO" filters with a more general
"Forward=YES" filter may not be necessary.
