Re: [FW-1] Drop vs Reject



Title: RE: [FW-1] Drop vs Reject

- Drop "black-holes" the packet; i.e. does not send any reply traffic whatsoever to the sender

- Reject "resets" the connection attempt via a TCP "reset" packet for TCP connections, or an ICMP "port unreachable" (icmp type 3 code 3) for UDP connections.  For types of traffic other than TCP and UDP, "reject" acts the same as "drop"
