Chapter 6, Problem 8RQ
Program Plan Intro
Firewall:
A firewall is security software which imposes a set of protocols to prevent specific types of data from moving among trusted and untrusted level of networks.
- Types of firewalls that are commonly used are:
- Application layer proxy firewalls
- Hybrid firewalls
- Packet filtering firewalls
- Media access control layer firewalls
OSI Model:
OSI model stands for “Open System Interconnection” reference model, a conceptual framework to understand how applications can interconnect over a network.
- It splits network interaction into seven different layers, they are:
- Application
- Presentation
- Session
- Transport
- Network
- Data Link
- Physical
