Wireshark was not made to interfere with traffic, it is made to record and analyze traffic. You can't influence traffic flows with wireshark. You will need to look for another tool to do that.

Some suggestions that might get you what you need:

pfSense, an open source firewall
m0n0wall, another open source firewall
snort, an open source Intrusion Detection and Prevention system (which might be what your looking for since you seek to filter abnormal packets)

You have a trillion packets.

You need to see four of them.

Don't have Wireshark?
