Stream5

The Stream5 preprocessor is a target-based TCP reassembly module for Snort. It is intended to replace both the Stream4 and flow preprocessors, and it is capable of tracking sessions for both TCP and UDP. With Stream5, the rule 'flow' and 'flowbits' keywords are usable with TCP as well as UDP traffic.

Note:   Since Stream5 replaces Stream4, both cannot be used simultaneously. Remove the Stream4 and flow configurations from snort.conf when the Stream5 configuration is added.
