basis of the entries.

15.1.2 IPv6 Filter Rules
The default behaviour with Action = 3%% consists of two implicit filter rules: If an in-
coming packet can be assigned to an existing connection and if a suitable connection is ex-
pected (e.g. such as an affiliated connection of an existing connection), the packet is al-
lowed.
The sequence of filter rules in the list is relevant: The filter rules are applied to each packet
in succession until a rule matches. If overlapping occurs, i.e. more than one filter rule
matches a packet, only the first rule is executed. This means that if the first rule denies a
packet, whereas a later rule allows it, the packet is rejected. A deny rule also has no effect
if a relevant packet has previously been allowed by another filter rule.
