It's typically implemented as a set of mask-and-compare arrays, so you
can set more or less arbitrary packets of interest.

The closest match is to a stateless filtering language, like IPsec
policy or part of IP Filter.  Actually having users specify those
arrays would probably not be the right way to go.  ;-}
