They can all be set to either denylist or allowlist mode.

Filtering will be evaluated for every packet in tab order.

For instance if no IP address is denied but a specific MAC address is on the denylist, no traffic for that MAC address will be processed.

NOTE: The ingress (NIC) filter is applied to live traffic only, e.i. the traffic sent to the monitoring interfaces of an Allegro. When replaying data from the ring buffer, loading a pcap or using the remote traffic capture feature, filtering is not used and/or applied.

NOTE: The data recorded to/stored in the Packet Ring buffer, is of course also affected by the Ingress filter. Additional ring buffer capture rules may be configured under "Generic - Packet Ring Buffer", further explained in our wiki here [[Packet ring buffer#Packet%20ring%20buffer%20snapshot%20length%20filter|https://allegro-packets.com/wiki/Packet_ring_buffer#Packet_ring_buffer_snapshot_length_filter]]

| Reserved memory (MB) || Controls how much memory in megabytes is reserved for packet deduplication. This memory then cannot be used for other statistics. Changes to this value will need a restart of the processing to take effect.

| Packet timeout (ms) || The time in milliseconds after which a packet hash is removed form the packet deduplication. If the time is between identical packets is longer than this value the packets will not be detected as duplicates.

| Compare starting at layer || Here it is possible to choose where the packet deduplication will start to analyze the packet. If e.g. 'Layer 3' is chosen it is possible for two packets to have different MAC addresses and still be detected as duplicates.

| Layer 7 length limit for compare (bytes) || This value controls how many bytes of the application payload are actually used for the hash calculation. A very high value may affect the performance while a vary low value may increase the risk of false positives.
