Deep packet filtering first examines the data part (and possibly also the header) of a packet as it passes an inspection point, searching for protocol non-compliance, viruses, spam, intrusions or predefined criteria to decide if the packet can pass or if it needs to be routed to a different destination, or for the purpose of collecting statistical information. This differs from "stateful packet inspection" (shallow filtering) where only the type of traffic and possibly the source and destination are inspected, not the contents of the traffic.

Deep packet inspection is a type of computer network packet filtering. Deep packet inspection examines the data part of a package as it passes through an inspection point. Factors such as viruses, spam, and intrusions determine whether the packet passes or needs to be rerouted to a different destination.
