I am not sure I understand, which of 2 different problems you are trying
to solve. If you wish to print lines containing either
"classifier-group" or "xxx packets, xxx bytes" use something like this
command:
:g/classifier-group\|\d\d* packets, \d\d* bytes
Or if you want to print lines from the "classifier-group" line until the
next matching line "xxx" packets, xxx bytes", use this command:
:g/classifier-group/.,/\d\d* packets, \d\d* bytes/p
(Which boils down to on each line matching classifier-group" print from
there until the next line, matching '\d\d packets, \d\d bytes' using the
:p command.)

Christian
