How does a packet filtering firewall differ from a circuit-level gateway?

A circuit-level gateway is a type of firewall. Circuit-level gateways work at the session layer of the OSI model, or as a "shim-layer" between the application layer and the transport layer of the TCP/IP stack. They monitor TCP handshaking between packets to determine whether a requested session is legitimate.

What types of filter criteria can an application layer firewall use for filtering?

Network layer firewalls, also called packet filters, operate at a relatively low level of the TCP/IP protocol stack, not allowing packets to pass through the firewall unless they match the established rule set.

Why is a packet filtering firewall a stateless device?

To influence which packets are allowed to transit the system and to apply special actions to packets as necessary, you can configure stateless firewall filters. A stateless firewall specifies a sequence of one or more packet-filtering rules, called filter terms.
