[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [FW1] Can other firewalls do stateful inspection?
Yes, in a sense. Check Point's patent should cover their particular method (INSPECT, etc.) for performing "stateful inspection". But recording IP address information, and using that information to track connections can be done many different ways. There are, therefore, other firewalls that perform similar functions, and perhaps even some that have licensed "stateful inspection" from Check Point [speculation, I have not confirmed this]. Microsoft's ISA server performs this, as does Stonesoft's StoneGate high availability firewall and VPN solution, for example. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Boltz Stonesoft Inc.

With that, can other firewalls do stateful inspection?
