@ -59,37 +59,48 @@ only (only_stream) or on packet only (no_stream).
So with the flow keyword you can match on:
::
to_client established only_stream
from_client stateless no_stream
to_server
from_server
**NOTE:** *from_server* and *to_client* are the same, and so are
*to_server* and _from_client_. This comes from the original Snort
language and we support it for compatibility reasons.
These options can be combined. You can use
up to three options. For example:
::
flow:to_client, established;
flow:from_client, established, only_stream;
There are different ways in which can be checked whether the
connection is established or not. With tcp-traffic a connection starts
with the three-way-handshake. In the flow is a part in which the state
is set. There will be checked in which state the connection is. In
other cases there will be just checked if traffic comes from two
sides.
Example:

to_client
Match on packets from server to client.
to_server
Match on packets from client to server.
from_client
Match on packets from client to server (same as to_server).
from_server
Match on packets from server to client (same as to_client).
established
Match on established connections.
not_established
Match on packets that are not part of an established connection.
stateless
Match on packets that are and are not part of an established connection.
only_stream
Match on packets that have been reassembled by the stream engine.
no_stream
Match on packets that have not been reassembled by the stream
engine. Will not match packets that have been reeassembled.
only_frag
Match packets that have been reassembled from fragments.
no_frag
Match packets that have not been reassembled from fragments.
Multiple flow options can be combined, for example::
flow:to_client, established
flow:to_server, established, only_stream
flow:to_server, not_established, no_frag
The determination of *established* depends on the protocol:
* For TCP a connection will be established after a three way
handshake.

* For other protocols (for example UDP), the connection will be
considered established after seeing traffic from both sides of the
connection.
