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.
