DLSw Filtering
Bay Networks provides three filtering mechanisms that affect DLSw traffic:
• Inbound traffic filters
• DLSw prioritization
• Protocol prioritization
Inbound Traffic Filters
DLSw supports inbound traffic filtering. You can establish filters associated with
any remote DLSw TCP port. The filters allow the router to
• Drop a packet
• Log a packet
• Forward a packet to a specific address (outbound to TCP)
For DLSw services:
• Actions other than LOG apply only to broadcast frames sent over the TCP/IP
network.
For more information on how to access and configure traffic filters for DLSw
services, refer to
Configuring Traffic Filters and Protocol Prioritization
.
DLSw Prioritization
DLSw prioritization allows you to prioritize traffic within DLSw based on
predefined or user-defined fields. Examples of DLSw prioritization criteria
include
• Source and destination SAP; this field can be used to assign NetBIOS traffic
(SAP 0xF0) to a lower priority than SNA traffic.
• Source and destination MAC address; this can be used to provide host bound
traffic preference over other traffic
• Any field in the SNA Transmission Header (TH) and Response/Request
Header (RH); this can be used to provide Class Of Service (COS) priority
preference
