The basic design of a firewall and sample firewall algorithms are discussed in [8] 9] [10], 11] 12] 13] Schuba [14] formalizes firewalls using hierarchical colored Petri nets. Bellovin [15] recently proposed a distributed approach to Internet firewalls. In this approach, personal firewalls are installed at the hosts themselves. The advantages of this distributed approach include ....

Before we describe our approach, we briefly examine what makes firewall management a difficult task. A firewall is typically placed on a gateway, separating the corporate intranet from the public Internet. Most ....
