I think just using the port is enough for COLO compare.
Because in this case, users need passthrough some guest services are distinguished by static ports.
And for support 4-tuple and wildcard are a good question, do you think we should add some passthrough
Mechanism for all Qemu net filter? If yes, we should support that in the future.
