Appendix A: Security Stateful Packet Inspection Refers to an architecture, where the firewall keeps track of packets on each connection traversing all its interfaces and makes sure they are valid. This is in contrast to static packet filtering which only examines a packet based on the information in the packet header. Denial of Service Attack Is an incident in which a user or organization is deprived of the services of a resource they would normally expect to have.
