Firewall in Computer Network

A firewall is a network security device, either hardware or software-based, which monitors all incoming and outgoing traffic and based on a defined set of security rules it accepts, rejects or drops that specific traffic.

  • Accept : allow the traffic
  • Reject : block the traffic but reply with an “unreachable error”
  • Drop : block the traffic with no reply

How Firewall Works

  • Firewall match the network traffic against the rule set defined in its table safe or not
  • Once the rule is matched, associate action is applied to the network traffic
  • Most of the traffic which reaches firewall uses one of these three major Transport Layer protocols- TCP, UDP or ICMP
  • All these types have a source address and destination address
  • A firewall establishes a barrier between secured internal networks and outside untrusted network, such as the Internet
