Hi, Back from the world cup,Let's talk about the topic of U32, You guys are right, It is almost useless if it can only filter by the 5 tuples.
But in my opinion, It can do "regex match" based on the pattern. So it can do something "layer7 filtering". Sure the performance is biggest issue. Any comments?
