Denial of Service Tuning for Cisco IOS Software Firewall and Intrusion Prevention System
Cisco IOS Stateful Packet Inspection maintains counters of the number of "Half-open" TCP connections, as well as the total connection rate through the firewall and intrusion prevention software. These half-open connections are TCP connections that have not completed the SYN - SYN/ACK - ACK handshake that is always used by...

Discussion of Conceptual Difference Between Cisco IOS Classic and Zone-Based Firewalls
Cisco IOS has supported stateful inspection firewall capability since before Cisco IOS Software Version 12.0. Stateful Inspection Firewall features are supported through the Classic Firewall (formerly known as Context-Based Access Control, or CBAC). Cisco IOS Software introduced an additional configuration model for stateful inspection with the Zone-Based Policy Firewall ZFW...

Using Cisco IOS Zone-Based and Classic Firewall in High-Availability Network Environments
Businesses increasingly rely on data networks to carry mission-critical information. This is particularly true for businesses that rely on IP data networks to carry voice-over-IP data for packet telephony. Data networks must offer high-availability capabilities so that business continuity is not interrupted by scheduled maintenance or unexpected downtime due to...

Modern Network Security: The Migration to Deep Packet Inspection
The evolution of network and application-layer security threats has significantly altered the requirements for modern network security architecture. Three years ago, a simple Stateful Packet Inspection SPI Firewall was sufficient to stop basic attacks such as port scans and DoS attacks. Now, application-layer buffer overflow attacks, Spam, Spyware, Polymorphic Trojans,...

Stateful Inspection Firewall Session Table Architecture and Timeouts
Stateful Inspection has become a classical technology for network firewall. By analyzing existed timeout processing mechanism of Stateful Inspection, new session table architecture with dynamical timeouts is proposed. The new architecture can improve performances of both timeout processing and session entry updating. Furthermore, dynamical timeouts according to resource utilizations can...

Stateful Inspection Firewall Session Table Processing
Stateful Inspection is a key technology to network devices such as routers and firewalls. Existing session table architectures of Stateful Inspection devices store all session information in a single entry, which causes high time cost of session table timeout processing. This paper presents a new architecture which divides a session...
