Warning

Forwarded packets from MPLS cloud to the CE network will never not show up in the forward.


For example traffic from src:111.15.0.1 to dst:111.13.0.1

But there can be an exception. If destination IP of reply packet is local to the router and connection tracking is performing NAT translation then connection tracking will "force" packet to move through the firewall prerouting/forward/postrouting chains.

Logical Interfaces

So far we looked at examples when in or out interfaces are actual physical interfaces (Ethernet, wireless), but how packets will flow if the router receives tunnel encapsulated packets?
