Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Display filter alternative

Hi,

I am studying about packet filtering methods. Then I came across
NetBee library (combination of NetPDL+NetPFL+NetVM), by the developer
of Winpcap. I have not tried the libary yet, but the authors claim
that it is a very flexible, efficient and an extendable system (O.
Morandi, F. Risso, M. Baldi, A. Baldini, “Enabling Flexible Packet
Filtering Through Dynamic Code Generation”). I am interested in
comparing Wireshark's display filter against the Netbee system for
efficiency and extendability.

The have compared their system against BPF but not with wireshark's
display filter.

before I begin, I would like to know the opinion of Wireshark experts
regarding this.

Thanks,
  Lloyd
