Great! Thanks for the answer, as a follow up question: how does it work
when I want to filter on a header field? Will it match ANY of the fields?
Yes. A filter "foo.bar == X", for example, matches all packets that
have at least one instance of a "foo.bar" field with the value "X.
(This means, BTW, that the negation of "foo.bar == X" is *NOT* "foo.bar
!= X". "foo.bar != X" matches all packets that have at least one
instance of a "foo.bar" field with a value other than X, but a packet
could have one instance with the value "X" and another with the value
"Y" and thus match *both* filters. The negation of "foo.bar == X" is
"!(foo.bar == X)".)
