I am reading a document and cannot fully comprehend what it means. can someone explain, atleast briefly....
it basically talks about network design... "the traffic that comes off the router (towards internal network) is split into following depending upon the upper layer protocol. it may go to a firewall for stateful inspection, it may go to a SSL/gateway doing transport layer/SSL encryption and proxying, or it may go to an IPSEC gateway" after the traffic emerges from the router interface, who gets to decide, ie what device decides to send to the appropriate device (firewall, IPSEC g/w, SSL /g/w) as i see the flow, there are 3 paths available to the traffic after it comes off the router interface. right ? what is the upper layer protocol here ? does it refer to TCP ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
