Re: question about InlineDrop()

[Steven Sturges <steve.sturges () sourcefire com>]

Hi Markus--

The idea there is once you decide to drop (block) a packet,
do the same for the other packets in the session.

The stateless check disables that if the drop is triggered
from a rule that has flow:stateless.

Cheers.
