What is Firewall

1.

A device or software to selectively filter packets. Learn more in: Malicious Software

2.

This is a host or router which provides a strict gateway to the Internet for a subnetwork, checking traffic and maybe dropping some network packets. Learn more in: On the Stability of Peer-to-Peer Networks in Real-World Environments

3.

A collection of systems that enforce an access control policy amount networks. Typically the firewall is located between the internal network and the outside network to block unauthorized traffic (Butcher-Powell, 2005). Learn more in: Status and Future Trends of Multimedia Interactivity on the Web

4.

A firewall is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. There are several types of firewall techniques. These include packet filter, application gateway, circuit-level gateway, and proxy server.

A firewall is a piece of hardware and/or software which functions in a networked environment to prevent some communications forbidden by the security policy, analogous to the function of firewalls in building construction. Learn more in: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network Security: Firewall Issues

14.

A peace of software that is a part of the operating system or can be an external program. It serves to protect a particular computer system it is installed on, or to protect a group of machines in a local area network (LAN).

In network security, firewall is a system used to keep surveillance over the traffic passing through it in and out on the basis of some prior defined security protocols. It basically protects the trusted network from the untrusted one like Internet. Learn more in: Reviewing the Security Features in Contemporary Security Policies and Models for Multiple Platforms
