Ok, so I've another question.
Can Iptables make a difference between packets of the real application
and a packet generator ?

For example :

X communicates with Y with the application Mooh-1.0 which sends UDP
packets via the port 789 and receives packets from the port 987.

Then Z sends UDP packets to X with a packet generator. The UDP packets
sended have the same dport and sport.

Can Iptables make a difference between "Mooh-1.0" and the packet
generator to avoid flood ?
