Gosh I think something sudden sparked my mind, I think I understand it now.
The number of flags ties to the bindings, ie this example it is ip->port, 
then dst,dst would means check the destination ip, and destination port.
Had the flags be src,dst, then it is checking the source ip and destination port.

I hope my understanding is correct. Perhaps the docs should explain it more 
clearly.

Cheers.
