Ada referensinya Pak Syafril?

Kemarin sdh dikasih satu link, kalau kurang tinggal di search di google atau search engine lain.

Packet filteringkan kerjanya spt SATPAM, memeriksa packet satu persatu yg lewat, adalah logis membuat tcp packet traffic melambat. Kalau yg dilewatkan packet utk protocol http tidak terlalu jadi masalah, krn http protocol tdk menspefikasi idle time out secara ketat; kalau mail protocol setiap smtp command punya idle time out masing-2x (yg berbeda satu dg yg lain) dan umumnya hanya singkat (kecuali DATA command yg paling panjang).

sedikit kutipan

Complications due to IP fragmentation

Yet another complication to packet filtering is IP packet fragmentation. IP supports the notion that any router along a packet's path may "fragment" that packet into several smaller packets, to accommodate the limitations of underlying media, to be reassembled into the original IP packet at the destination.

packet fragmentation ini membuat traffic lambat.

Ada penyakit lain dari orang-2x paranoid yg main asal block semua incoming port (kecuali port-2x tertentu misalkan port 25), diluar itu di block. Hal ini membuat multi tasking terhambat krn return packet diblock.

TCP and UDP source port are often omitted from filtering criteria

Another problem is that current filtering implementations often omit the source UDP/TCP port from consideration in filtering rules, leading to common cases where it is impossible to allow both inbound and outbound traffic to a service without opening up gaping holes to other services. For instance, without being able to consider both the source and destination port numbers of a given packet, you can't allow inbound SMTP connections to internal machines (for inbound email) and outbound SMTP connections to all external machines (so that you can send outbound mail) without ending up allowing all connections between internal and external machines where both ends of the connection are on ports at or above port 1024.

Secure (terlindung) itu baik, akan tetapi jauh lebih penting adalah Safe (aman).
