With the new firewall structure, we have have a lot of flexibility in how we
group and order our rules, as shown by the two alternative approaches below.

Option 1: Common Chain
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+Option 1: Global State Policies
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Using options defined in ``set firewall global-options state-policy``, state
+policy rules that applies for both IPv4 and IPv6 are created. These global
+state policies also applies for all traffic that passes through the router
+(transit) and for traffic originated/destinated to/from the router itself, and
+will be evaluated before any other rule defined in the firewall.

+Most installations would choose this option, and will contain:

+ set firewall global-options state-policy established action accept
+ set firewall global-options state-policy related action accept
+ set firewall global-options state-policy invalid action drop
