Define Display Filter Displays the Define Filter dialog box with
settings automatically populated based
on the currently selected packet and the
setting of the adjacent Filter Type
Selection dropdown.

Quick Filter Automatically filters the display based

Packet Selection tab to specify how
Quick Filters will be applied (for
example, whether matching packets are
returned in a new tab or shown selected
in the active tab, and so on).
See Using Quick Filters on page 172 for
details.
