Hi Ethy :) * Ethy H. Brito <ethy.brito@xxxxxxxxxxxx> dixit: > match u16 0x0000 0xffb0 at 2 > > With this match he says that packet with less than 80 bytes will match the rule. That's right. > Well, 0xffb0 translates to 1111 1111 1011 0000 (which is -80 BTW). It is a mask, not a number (and certainly not a signed one), so there's no point in considering it -80. It is just a mask. > Am I correct or I completely misunderstood it? You're right, packet sizes between 16 and 63 (both included) won't match the rule.
