Allow the packet to continue. Intel AMT counts the number of packets that match the condition in the filter. The management console application can use a statistics filter to collect statistical data. The application can read these counters and reset them. Note that there may be a difference between the number of the filtered packets and the actual statistics count values due to the overhead involved with statistics management. This includes differences which may appear between similar filters.

Limit the number of packets sent or received that match the defined conditions to a certain number per second. A Rate Limit filter behaves like a statistics filter with a threshold - it counts packets like a statistics filter, but it will also cut off traffic if the threshold is reached. Each second the Rate Limit filter allows matching packets to pass until the threshold number is reached and blocks all other matching packets for the remainder of the second. For example, the filter limits the number of SYN packets per second sent from the host to the network.
