441 3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking.

444 configuration like:

648 Multiport matching allows you to match TCP or UDP packets based on
649 a series of source or destination ports: normally a rule can only
650 match a single range of ports.

794 AND them with specified masks, shift them by specified amounts and

798 lengths.
