Rules for data feeds and assigned filters that are associated with a method instance:
-
The method instance must be assigned to at least one data feed. Assigned filters are optional except for some detection methods.
-
The method instance is always processing only the data from assigned data feeds.
-
Data from a single data feed is processed alone, the classifiers based on these data are also kept separately for each data feed and each instance of a method.
-
The assigned IP address filter restricts the data according to the source or destination IP addresses (details follow).
-
There is no need to use the IP filter if all data from the current data feed satisfies this filter.
-
It is better to not use any filter instead of using the filter with all IP addresses.
-
Some of the detection methods need to have a filter assigned to achieve better performance.
