[j-nsp] JUNOS : prefix-list

[Samuel]

Hi group,

In the Juniper documentation I can read:
"A prefix list within a routing policy always assumes a route-filter 
match type of exact. Therefore, only routes explicitly listed in the 
prefix list will match."

When I apply a prefix-list in a firewall-filter the way is not the same. 
A prefix-list within a firewall filter assumes a route-filter type of 
longer.

Why this difference between a routing policy and a firewall filter?

Regards,
Samuel
