These packets are similar to a test machine setup that is used in the
actual testing of IPFilter. The name of the rules file is test01 and the
name of the packet file is packets01. The packets are processed with
ipftest using the following command:
ipftest -r test01 -i packets01
The following is the output of ipftest:
opening rule file "test01"
input: in on lan0 udp 10.1.84.195,16000 10.1.84.196,16000
