You have been asked to configure a firewall which not only monitors packets but also maintains a record of connections. What is such a firewall called?
none of these
stateful packet inspection firewall
application layer firewall
packet filter firewall
A stateful packet firewall keeps track of the state of network connections (such as TCP streams or UDP communication) and is able to hold significant attributes of each connection in memory. These attributes are collectively known as the state of the connection, and may include such details as the IP addresses and ports involved in the connection and the sequence numbers of the packets traversing the connection. Stateful inspection monitors incoming and outgoing packets over time, as well as the state of the connection, and stores the data in dynamic state tables.
