Interface State Transition Interface state is calculated as below If all sockets request a filter-mode of INCLUDE, then interface state is INCLUDE with the union source lists. If any sockets request a filter-mode of EXCLUDE, then interface state is EXCLUDE with the intersection of all EXCLUDE source lists subtracting the union of all INCLUDE source lists.
