Hello,

 

I just wanted to say that the FLOW_INIT is triggered after packet filter. It was well represented in version 0.1 however in version 0.5 the "Packet filter on VLAN" was moved down below "AFM/TMM Processing begins" .

 

Could you please explain why you made such a modification ?

boneyard, We are saying the same thing: If the packet filter blocks the packet we'll not get the flow init event.

 

However, the diagram v0.5, the flow_init box is represented before the packet filter box. Which seems to say that whether we're blocked or not by packet filter we always get the flow init event (which I think is incorrect)

 

You can see that in v0.1 of the diagram, the flow_init box was set after the packet filter box, which make more sens for me.

 

Thanks,
