A firewall that examines all the incoming traffic and decides if the traffic is going to be allowed though or dumped is a example of which of the following?
Packet filtering/ IP filtering
stateless filtering- device that does the filtering just checks the packet for IP addresses and port numbers and blocks or allows accordingly
stateful filtering/stateful inspection- more secure, all packets are examined as a stream, stateful devices can do more than allow or block they can track when a stream is disrupted or packets get corrupted and act accordingly.
