The priority of filter rules determines the order in which they are evaluated. This priority is involved in classifying packets. If no rule of priority 1 classifies the packet then the rule(s) at priority 2 (if any) are evaluated. If the packet is still not classified then the rules at priority 3 (if any) are evaluated. Once the packet is classified and assigned to a class, then the class's priority determines the service given to the packet. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
