A B C and D.

 

All the above for me please, A B C D.

 

Nah...think I'll wait a little while longer...just in case.

 

Time's up. Correct answer is ABC. This type of filtering allows layer 2 through 7 protocols to be filtered. For example, you can allow only certain MAC addresses on your network or only allow certain application protocols such as http if you want to filter in or filter out web traffic. RF filtering is bogus in this context.
