All the aplication Firewals usually ship with a packet filter, too. Some
have even a user mode proxy for packet mangling.
Checkpoint is only app level for its secure servers, usually it is only a
packet filter with state and inspection on an easy scriptable packet level.
Of course, if you do not need the performance looking at the protocols at
application level is a bit more secure. In that case packets wont be passed
1:1.
