Run-time filtering layer identifiers
The run-time filtering layer identifiers are used by kernel-mode callout drivers and are each represented by a locally unique identifier (LUID), which is 64 bits in size. These identifiers are constant values in the FWPS_BUILTIN_LAYERS enumeration that is defined in Fwpsk.h. These identifiers are defined as follows:
Note
The V4 and V6 suffixes at the end of the run-time layer identifiers indicate whether the layer is located in the IPv4 network stack or in the IPv6 network stack.
