[j-nsp] SRX as Little Juniper BGP Box

[Rubens Kuhl]

Beware of the firewall nature of the SRX in situations like
asymmetrical routing; you can make a workaround using selective
firewall filters with the packet-mode clause, as long as you don't put
traffic where the router is the destination in packet mode (this has
to use flow mode).
