One thing that sometimes comes up is that people do number links using RFC1918 address space which occasionally results in an ICMP 'fragmentation needed but DF bit set' packet with an RFC1918 source address. Filtering out this packet could result in TCP breaking.
That can be accomodated; behold, all the joy of PMTUD, with none of the other crap from designated special-use address space: firewall { family inet { filter external-filter { term allow-icmp-unreach { from { protocol icmp; icmp-type unreachable; icmp-code fragmentation-needed; } then { count allow-icmp-need-frag; accept; } } term allow-icmp-timxceed { from { protocol icmp; icmp-type time-exceeded; icmp-code [ ttl-eq-zero-during-transit ttl-eq-zero-during-reassembly ]; } then { count allow-icmp-timxceed; accept; } } term deny-rfc1918 { from { source-address { 10.0.0.0/8; 172.16.0.0/12; 192.168.0.0/16; } } then { count deny-rfc1918; discard; } } term deny-test { from { source-address { 192.0.2.0/24; } } then { count deny-test-net; discard; } } term deny-autoconfig { from { source-address { 169.254.0.0/16; } } then { count deny-autoconfig; discard; } } term LAST { then accept; } } } } Application is left as an exercise to the reader.
