       "PreambleMarkerService models the storing of traffic- "
       "conditioning results in a packet preamble. An instance appends "
       "a two-part string of the form \'<type>,<value>\' to the packet "
       "preamble. The concept of \'type\'s is discussed more fully in "
       "the Description of the class\' FilterItemList property." )]

      [Description ( 
          "To foster interoperability, the basic format of the "
          "information captured by a PreambleMarker is specified. "
          "That information is contained in the FilterItemList "
          "property (an ordered, string array). Each entry in the "
          "array takes the form \'type,value\'. When entries are "
          "added, they are appended to the end of the list. \n"
          "\n"
          "A limited set of standardized \'type\'s exist. They are: \n"
          "- ConformingFromMeter, NonConformingFromMeter and "
          "PartConformingFromMeter to convey metering results "
          "(where the \'value\' is the name of the meter) \n"
          "- VlanId to describe the traffic\'s VLAN information "
          "(where the \'value\' is the VLAN ID). \n"
          "An implementation is free to define and use other "
          "preamble \'types\'. \n"
          "Note that a wildcard value of \"any\" is allowed to "
          "indicate that the preamble entry matches for any \'value\' "
          "of the specified \'type\'. For example, using the "
          "wildcard, an administrator can define a filter to select "
          "all packets that were found to be conforming (\'type\' = "
          "\"ConformingFromMeter\") without having to name each "
          "meter individually." ),
