I think something like "@IPFilterRule" is clearer.

"IP filter rule specification"

I think IPFlowSpec should be kept generic, so object-name should not be
part of it. It should move directly to 'colo-passthrough-add' and
'colo-passthrough-del'.

Also please use clearer wording. Proposal:
"@object-name: The id of the colo-compare object to add the filter to."

Again, if other net filters support the new feature in the future, the
wording can always be changed later.

I think 'protocol' should be made optional too.
