## Cause

"-e" flag is not supported for accelerated traffic, hence will not filter accelerated traffic.

## Solution

Instead of using "-e" flag, use "-F" flag.

**Usage:** -F "{src IP}, {src port}, {dst IP}, {dst port}, {protocol num}"  
Filtering the packets based on IP/port/protocol.

**Notes:**  
* Value 0 is used as "any".
* Up to 5 filters are supported.
* Multiple filters are applied on packets in OR logical manner.

**Note:** Relevant for R80.20 Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator from Take_73.
