A) Stateless
B) Stateful
C) Personal
D) IP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stateless packet filters are able to block traffic based on specific criteria such as source IP address, destination IP address, and port number. By configuring the filter to block traffic from a specific subnet or network, all traffic from that source will be completely blocked. Stateful packet filters are also capable of accomplishing this, but they maintain information about the state of the connections and therefore may not be as effective at blocking all traffic from a subnet or network. Personal and IP are not relevant options for this question.
