....and perform well. We needed a network that would still work and still be secure if a single component failed. To achieve that goal, we made each of our Internet gateways capable of handling traffic for another gateway. To implement defense in depth, we used the screened subnet firewall design [8]. To make sure that the design was scalable, we designed all of our ISPs and firewall complexes to land on a specific Ethernet segment so that additions and changes would have minimal impact.

The firewall is built upon the screened subnet architecture described in [7]. This topology consists of two routers, placed either side of the IDS.
