How Packet filters works in F5?

Hi Folks,

 

Need to understand the Packet Filter.

 

1) Is it bi-directional? I mean stateful. The return traffic will be allowed. 2) What do you mean by Filter established connections? (Default value is disabled)

 

Please refer with links or example.

 

Regrds, Mubasher Sultan
