6.4.3.3.2 Directed IPX Packet Example
A valid Directed IPX Packet contains the station’s MAC address, a Protocol Type of 8137h, and an
IPX Node Address that equals to the station’s MAC address. It can include
LLC/SNAP Headers
and VLAN Tags. Since filtering this packet relies on the flexible filters, which use offsets specified
by the OS directly, the OS must account for the extra offset LLC/SNAP Headers and VLAN tags.
6.4.3.4 IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Filter
1
In IPv6, a Neighbor Discovery packet is used for address resolution. A flexible filter can be used to
check for a “Neighborhood Discovery Packet”.
