A filter is a set theoretical concept and as such, its structure is independent of any topology which can be put on the given space. However, an O-filter, whose counterpart in the theory of nets is the O-nets of Robertson and Franklin [2], is defined with respect to the topology on the given space. The purpose of this paper is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for every O-filter to be an ultrafilter and for every Cauchy filter to be an O-filter.
