ABSTRACT:
Firewalls and other filtering gateways have become common security devices for improving computer network security. As more features and functionality are added to these devices they become quite complex to configure. By associating configuration schemes with firewall policies, configuration can be simplified without compromising flexibility. Administrators have more options to filter different traffic streams based on their type and sources. They also have increased flexibility to be able to filter traffic on a per user basis, through authentication mechanisms tied to various filtering options.
