This is about the UDP bug found in Ascend products:

The fix posted by Ascend works but is not perfect, since it ONLY
works for IP traffic. If you put this filter on your Ethernet interface,
arp messages will stop being processed. This is caused by the second
filter condition that lets ONLY Ip thru. Below is the correct filter, it
is also good to put in the Output filter I've made.

Thanks
