The next release will have the ability to select a packet and request
that traffic to/from the source port of that packet, to/from the
destination port of that packet, or to/from either of those ports, will
be dissected by any protocol that fits under the protocol whose port
that is (TCP or UDP).  It will also support similar mechanisms for
Ethernet packet types and IP protocol types.
