Michael, When the firewall reloads, any new traffic will be blocked, but any pre-existing firewall states will remain and any matching packets are allowed to pass.
The reason is, while the firewall rules are under construction, we don't want any packets to sneak in that would normally be blocked with the completed set of firewall rules. So we temporarily block new packets during that reload time.
