Director 33 Under stand lter interactions It is important to understand that Director uses Content Addressable Memory (CAM) technology to implement lters. As each lter is dened, it is stored in the next available entry in the CAM. Each packet header is compared in the CAM, and the CAM returns the index of the rst lter that the pac[...]

Director 34 Have we achieved our goal of sending all the TCP trafc to Monitor Port 2? Not quite. What happens when an TCP packet arrives from 192.186.10.0? It matches the lter at CAM address 1, so it is copied to Monitor Port 1. But that is all that happens; it does not go to Monitor Port 2. The ow is correctly shown in the following diagr[...]

Director 35 Note: __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Instead of lteradd , you can use a lter ins command to dene lters.
