[jagdev.dhaliwal]

Hello All,

Can you please let me know the packet flow for  PIX/ASA 7.x  & earlier  Vs  8.3(x)  &later ?

PIX/ASA - Inside (Higher Sec_Lev) to Outside (Lower SEC_Level)
ASA/PIX - Outside (Lower SEC_Level) to Inside (Higher Sec_Lev)

PIX/ASA - VPN - Inside (Higher Sec_Lev) to Outside (Lower SEC_Level)
PIX/ASA - VPN - Outside (Lower SEC_Level) to Inside (Higher Sec_Lev)

Thanks

Jagdev
