Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Packet-filtering firewalls examine the source and destination addresses of each part of a message to determine whether to pass it or not. Perimeter firewalls are also a type of packet-filtering firewall that is placed at the boundary of a network, while internal firewalls are placed inside the network to provide additional security. Application firewalls are designed to filter specific application protocols and are not as effective as packet-filtering firewalls in blocking general network-level attacks.
