The ipWolRuleTable defines access rules for checking incoming IP packets. The rules are processed in order, i.e. each rule has a link to the next rule. The set of rules is processed until a match occurs, that means the rule's associated filter matches and the specified action is performed (either send a Wake-On-LAN packet via Ethernet or via UDP). The last rule is implicitly a deny rule. The set of rules to be processed can be defined for each interface.
