I visited yesican.chsoft.biz and the author proposes a way to match packets by less than some size . Here is the thing: match u16 0x0000 0xffb0 at 2 With this match he says that packet with less than 80 bytes will match the rule. Well, 0xffb0 translates to 1111 1111 1011 0000 (which is -80 BTW). So, if I am correct any packet with bits 4 and/or 5 set (together with any of the 4 LSB's) will break the rule. They will still be less than 80 bytes. If it is so, packets of lenght, for instance, 16, 32 or 48 (32+16) will not make it. I think the proposed solution only works with (2^n)-1 sized packets. Am I correct or I completely misunderstood it? Regards -- Ethy H.
