Hi,
this is a "BTW" appendix to my last mail :-)
I consider it somewhat confusing that there is only one firewall icon in
the corner. Since TCP and UDP firewalling is completely independent,
and since each of them has at least three possible states used in
practice ("completely closed", "Only outgoing/solicited allowed",
"both outgoing and incoming/unsolicited allowed"), which thus equals to
at least nine possible combinations, it seems unlikely that we can
express so much information with only four different icon states. In
theory, there are even more possible states for each TCP and UDP which
are quite rarely used in practice (for example "ONLY
incoming/unsolicited traffic allowed", used in firewalls protecting
internet servers, so that an infected server can't spread a virus).
