=== Part 2: Setting a Default Policy / Setting Policy Exceptions (iptables) ===
Usually when setting policy rules with iptables, a general "overall" policy is set (default policy chain), and then set policy rules in other chains which act as exceptions to the default policy. A general policy would apply to ALL types of packets (tcp, udp, icmp) and all communication port numbers (80, 22, etc).
