Filters. Filters can now be built
using built-in filter templates. This greatly simplifies the

logical expressions.

and shows the IP pairs of which IP is talking to which local IP.
Parsers. Version 4.2 now parses the H323, SIP and SDP
VoIP protocols.

enhancements such as the ability to choose which statistics windows
to display and to turn DNS lookup off, if this is slowing down your

all showing additional data items.
In the advanced Filters
dialog box, filter rules can now be moved up/down in the filter rule
listing. A number of predefined fields have been added to the IP,
UDP, TCP, BGP, RIP, LPR, BOOTP, DHCP, TFTP and PPPLCP protocol
