Abstract:
In general, embodiments of the invention relate to processing network traffic data units (NTDUs). More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to processing NTDUs transmitted between client device and the one or more protected resources. The protected resources are logically surrounded by a perimeter, which is implemented as a set of network devices that manage the flow of NTDUs between client devices and the protected resources. The perimeter works in conjunction with a set of filtering devices to determine whether a given NTDU can ultimately be transmitted to, and processed by, a protected resource.
