34 results about "Stateful firewall" patented technology

In computing, a stateful firewall is a network firewall that tracks the operating state and characteristics of network connections traversing it. The firewall is configured to distinguish legitimate packets for different types of connections. Only packets matching a known active connection are allowed to pass the firewall.

Dynamic recovery from a split-brain failure in edge nodes

Some embodiments provide a method for employing the management and control system of a network to dynamically recover from a split-brain condition in the edge nodes of the network. The method of some embodiments takes a corrective action to automatically recover from a split-brain failure occurred at a pair of high availability (HA) edge nodes of the network. The HA edge nodes include an active machine and a standby machine. The active edge node actively passes through the network traffic (e.g., north-south traffic for a logical network), while the standby edge node is synchronized and ready to transition to the active state, should a failure occur. Both HA nodes share the same configuration settings and only one is active until a path, link, or system failure occurs. The active edge node also provides stateful services (e.g., stateful firewall, load balancing, etc.) to the data compute nodes of the network.

Wireless local area network infrastructure devices having improved firewall features

Methods and systems are provided for improving a firewall implemented at a WLAN infrastructure device (WID). The WID includes a stateful firewall that implements firewall rules based on an ESSID of the WID to specify whether traffic is allowed to or from the ESSID. For example, in one implementation of such a firewall rule, packets that are required to be sent out on all wired ports can be blocked from being flooded out on WLANs (e.g., the packet is allowed to pass only to the wired ports). A method and system are provided for preventing a malicious wireless client device (WCD) that is transmitting undesirable traffic from using RF resources by deauthenticating the malicious WCD to remove it from the WLAN and blacklisting it to prevent it from rejoining the WLAN for a time period. Method and systems are also provided for either “on-demand” and / or predicatively communicating state information regarding an existing firewall session.

Method and apparatus for deflecting flooding attacks

Method and apparatus for deflecting connection flooding attacks. Specifically, the stateful firewall allows all connection attempts to flow into the destination host, but monitors the connection attempts to ensure that only legitimate connections are allowed. If the firewall detects that a connection is half-open for longer than a certain timer threshold, it will instruct the destination host to tear down the half-open connection, thereby freeing up resources in the destination host for other connection attempts. The timer threshold can be dynamically adjusted if a connection flooding attack is detected.

Scalable stateful firewall design in openflow based networks

A logically centralized controller provides a stateful firewall service provider on a network. The logically centralized controller routes a plurality of packets associated with a traffic flow to a firewall, and blocks, allows, or further monitors the traffic flow based on the inspection of the plurality of packets by the firewall. The logically centralized controller thereby prevents unauthorized network activity while allowing network traffic to bypass the bottleneck created by the firewall.

Connectivity Over Stateful Firewalls

A method for establishing a TCP connection between two client terminals protected by stateful firewalls and comprising means for sending messages to each other via a messaging server. The client terminals agree on establishing a mutual TCP connection by sending a message, which indicates port numbers to be used on said connection. A TCP connection establishment procedure is started in both client terminals. After sending a first handshake message, a message indicating a sequence number of the first handshake message is sent from both client terminals to each other. When the firewalls of the opposite client terminals reject the first handshake message, an acknowledgement message to the first handshake message is created in both client terminals using a raw socket, which acknowledgement message includes the received sequence number as an acknowledgement number. Finally, the raw socket based acknowledgement message is sent to the opposite client terminal for completing the establishment of the TCP connection.

Routing device having integrated MPLS-aware firewall

An MPLS-aware firewall allows firewall security policies to be applied to MPLS traffic. The firewall, which may be integrated within a routing device, can be configured into multiple virtual security systems. The routing device provides a user interface by which a user specifies one or more zones to be recognized by the integrated firewall when applying stateful firewall services to the packets. The user interface allows the user to define different zones and policies for different ones of the virtual security systems. In addition, the user interface supports a syntax that allows the user to define the zones for the firewall by specifying the customer VPNs as interfaces associated with the zones. The routing device generates mapping information for the integrated firewall to map the customer VPNs to specific MPLS labels for the MPLS tunnels carrying the customer's traffic.

Method for bi-directional symmetric routing in multi-homed networks with stateful firewalls

There are provided systems and methods for symmetric bi-directional routing in multi-homed IP networks which includes sending an IP packet having a source address from a first host and substituting the source address with an exterior routing address by a first network address translation gateway or firewall of the first host using conditional substitution. The IP packet, with the exterior routing address, is optionally routed via intermediate networks and firewalls and received by a first gateway or firewall of a second host. The second host responds to the first host along a route which traverses the same set of firewall gateways as the initial IP packet by using the exterior routing address as a destination address. The exterior routing address is converted back to the source address by the first network address translation gateway of the first host.
