At this stage, the ingress and egress zone information is available. The firewall uses application ANY to perform the lookup and check for a rule match. In case of a rule match, if the policy action is set to ‘deny’, the firewall drops the packet. The firewall denies the traffic if there is no security rule match.

This stage receives packet, parses the packets and passes for further inspection. Firewall continues with a session lookup and other security modules. After that firewall forwards the packet to the egress stage.
Firewall inspects the packet and performs the lookup on packet. Firewall session includes two unidirectional flows, where each flow is uniquely identified. In PAN-OS, the firewall finds the flow using a 6-tuple terms: 1. Source and destination addresses: IP addresses from the IP packet. 2. Source and destination ports: Port numbers from TCP/UDP pro...
Session fast path checks the packet from layer 2 to layer 4 and passes under below conditions: – 1. If the session is in discard state, then the firewall discards the packet. 2. If the session is active, refresh session timeout. 3. If the packet is a TCP FIN/RST, the session TCP half closed timer is started if this is the first FIN packet received ...
Firewall firstly performs an application policy lookup to see if there is a rule match. If there is no application rule, then application signatures are used to identify the application.
Firewall performs content Inspection, identifies the content and permits as per security policy rule. Next, it forwards the packet to the forwarding stage.
Firewall performs QoS shaping as applicable in the egress process. Firewall inspects the packet MTU size and the fragment bit settings on the packet at egress interface and performs fragmentation i...If the egress interface is a tunnel interface, then IPsec/SSL-VPN tunnel encryption is performed.Packet is inspected by Palo Alto Firewall at various stages from ingress to egress and performs the defined action as per policy / security checks and encryption. Packet passes from Layer 2 checks and discards if error is found in 802.1q tag and MAC address lookup. Packet is forwarded for TCP/UDP check and discarded if anomaly in packet. Next is de...

Palo Alto firewalls are built using Single-Pass Parallel Processing (SP3) Architecture in which traffic stream is scanned only once by having different firewall features to use the same signature format, so they can be applied simultaneously in parallel. This minimizes delays caused by packet buffering. Features that are applied in parallel:
Configure a best-practice security policy rulebase to safely enable applications and protect your network from attack. Go to the Best Practices page and select security policy best practice for your firewall deployment. Set up High Availability —High availability (HA) is a configuration in which two firewalls are placed in a group and their ...
The firewall exports the statistics as NetFlow fields to a NetFlow collector. The NetFlow collector is a server you use to analyze network traffic for security, administration, accounting and troubleshooting. All Palo Alto Networks firewalls support NetFlow Version 9. The firewalls support only unidirectional NetFlow, not bidirectional.
