That is a very helpful diagram.  There are two aspects that I don't see =
directly addressed.

1.  For packets ultimately delivered to processes on the system pf is =
running on, I suspect they get to the Kernel Processing box and then are =
directly delivered to the receiving process.  The out phase is not used.

2.  For packets redirected to addresses at 127.0.0.1, would they go =
through the out phase and then back in the in phase and be delivered =
during the Kernel Processing as above.
