How filter sets work
 
A filter set acts like a team of customs inspectors. Each filter is an inspector through which incoming and 
outgoing packages must pass. The inspectors work as a team, but each inspects ever y package individu-
ally. 
Each inspector has a specific task. One inspector’s task may be to examine the destination address of all 
outgoing packages. That inspector looks for a cer tain destination—which could be as specific as a street 
address or as broad as an entire countr y—and checks each package’s destination address to see if it 
matches that destination.
 
A filter inspects data packets like a customs inspector scrutinizing packages.
 
Filter priority
 
Continuing the customs inspectors analogy, imagine the inspectors lined up 
to examine a package. If the package matches the first inspector’s criteria, 
the package is either rejected or passed on to its destination, depending on 
the first inspector’s par ticular orders. In this case, the package is never 
seen by the remaining inspectors.
If the package does not match the first inspector’s criteria, it goes to the 
second inspector, and so on. You can see that the order of the inspectors in 
the line is ver y impor tant.
For example, let’s say the first inspector’s orders are to send along all pack-
ages that come from Rome, and the second inspector’s orders are to reject 
all packages that come from France. If a package arrives from Rome, the 
first inspector sends it along without allowing the second inspector to see it. 
A package from Paris is ignored by the first inspector, rejected by the second 
inspector, and never seen by the others. A package from London is ignored 
by the first two inspectors, so it’s seen by the third inspector.
In the same way, filter sets apply their filters in a par ticular order. The first fil-
ter applied can for ward or discard a packet before that packet ever reaches 
any of the other filters. If the first filter can neither for ward nor discard the 
packet (because it cannot match any criteria), the second filter has a chance 
to for ward or reject it, and so on. Because of this hierarchical structure, 
each filter is said to have a priority. The first filter has the highest priority, and the last filter has the lowest 
priority.
