I am curious how it is actually working because we have the new column-based searching for the match in R80. There is always search in entire rulebase (in column order, dst, src, service), even if we have many inline parent rules, right?

"Having Inline Layers creates operational efficiency by having a packet be first matched
through the list of Parent Rules instead of going through hundreds of access control
rules."
