# Capture Filter

A Capture Filter in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a virtual network resource that defines rules to include or exclude specific types of traffic for packet capture. It allows you to control which network packets are mirrored when using a VCN traffic mirroring session. By specifying criteria such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols, Capture Filters help reduce data volume and focus analysis on relevant traffic, improving performance and efficiency in network monitoring and troubleshooting.
