I found some time ago that the u32 classifier can read any part of a packet - header and/or data section using the byte offset facility and action on match. If I understand correct, the Layer 7 filter patch does the same as P2P applications use the same ports as many other services but the payload is different. The filter has payload patterns that it searches for to identify the application. Maybe the Layer 7 filter patch searches without byte offset - meaning a substring kind of search and uses the boolean outcome for action trigger. Can this be then done using the u32 filter itself?
