A firewall that examines the state of a connection as well as simple address, port, and protocol rules to determine how to process a packet.
Stateful inspection firewall
A network device that connects network segments, creating a direct connection between a sending and receiving port.

Telephony denial of service (TDoS)
True
Telephony denial of service (TDoS) is a variation of a denial of service (DoS) attack, but is launched against traditional and packet-based telephone systems. A TDoS attack disrupts an organization's use of its telephone system through a variety of methods. True False
