PF_FILTER_DESCRIPTOR

[PF_FILTER_DESCRIPTOR is available for use in the operating systems listed in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. The API elements described in the Windows Filtering Platform API Reference provide similar functionality.]

The PF_FILTER_DESCRIPTOR structure contains the information that defines a packet filter.

typedef struct _PF_FILTER_DESCRIPTOR {
  DWORD dwFilterFlags;
  DWORD dwRule;
  PFADDRESSTYPE pfatType;
  PBYTE SrcAddr;
  PBYTE SrcMask;
  PBYTE DstAddr;
  PBYTE DstMask;
  DWORD dwProtocol;
  DWORD fLateBound;
  WORD wSrcPort;
  WORD wDstPort;
  WORD wSrcPortHighRange;
  WORD wDstPortHighRange;
} PF_FILTER_DESCRIPTOR, 
 *PPF_FILTER_DESCRIPTOR;

Members

• dwFilterFlags
  Currently only a single flag is supported for this member:

  FD_FLAGS_NOSYN

• dwRule
  Specifies the rule for the filter.

• pfatType
  Specifies the address type for the filter. This member is of type PFADDRESSTYPE.

• SrcAddr
  Specifies the source address of the packets to filter. This information must be passed in the host byte order.

• SrcMask
  Specifies the subnet mask for the source address. This information must be passed in the host byte order.

• DstAddr
  Specifies the destination address of the packets to filter. This information must be passed in the host byte order.

• DstMask
  Specifies the subnet mask for the destination address. This information must be passed in the host byte order.

• dwProtocol
  Specifies the protocols to filter. This member can be one of the following values.

  Value	Meaning
  FILTER_PROTO_ANY	All protocols
  FILTER_PROTO_ICMP	Internet Control Message Protocol
  FILTER_PROTO_TCP	Transmission Control Protocol
  FILTER_PROTO_UDP	User Datagram Protocol

• fLateBound
  Specifies the address information that should be updated when the filter is rebound. This member can be any combination of the following flags:

  LB_SRC_ADDR_USE_SRCADDR_FLAG
  LB_SRC_ADDR_USE_DSTADDR_FLAG
  LB_DST_ADDR_USE_SRCADDR_FLAG
  LB_DST_ADDR_USE_DSTADDR_FLAG

• wSrcPort
  Specifies the source port of the packets to filter.

• wDstPort
  Specifies the destination port of the packets to filter.

• wSrcPortHighRange
  Specifies the high range of the source port of packets to filter.

• wDstPortHighRange
  Specifies the high range of the destination port of packets to filter.

Requirements

Server	Requires Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server.
Header	Declared in Fltdefs.h.
