[FW-1] Question about open connections when closing firewall



Hi.
Im wondering, how does FW-1 handle open connections to a box, when you close
any inbound traffic to that box, are any open connections immediately cut
off, or are they allowed to finnish their traffic?

Example, say we have a box 1.2.3.4, listening for traffic on port 1, and
connections remain open for an avarge of 60 seconds.

1) connection #1 is opened
2) firewall gets closed on port 1 to 1.2.3.4
3) any new inbound connections are obviously refused
4) the answer for connection #1 comes back

In this case, what would happen to #1?

Regards
Johan
