A packet, "advancing through" a set of filters, is checked by every filter in the set, from the first one till the end of
the set, or until the first matching filter. The algorithm is the following:
If the filter set is empty, the packet is accepted
Otherwise, the first matching filter decides what to do with the packet. If it is an accept filter, the packet is
accepted. If it’s a reject filter, the packet is rejected (discarded)
If no filter has been found that matches the packet, it is accepted.
