Email: ssivagami186@gmail.com Abstract: Firewall is a system that secures a network, shielding it from access by unauthorized users. A firewall is designed using firewall policy; it dictates how the firewall should handle applications traffic such as web, email or telnet, it also explains how the firewall is to be managed and updated.…show more content…
It is also a device or set of devices configured to permit, deny, encrypt, decrypt, or proxy all computer traffic between different security domains based upon a set of rules and other criteria [1]. A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Firewall is frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets. All messages entering or leaving the intranet passes through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that does not meet the specified security…show more content…
The program that analyzes the content of that file is called log analyzer. Logs are emitted by network devices, operating systems, applications and all manner of intelligent or programmable device. A stream of messages in time-sequence often comprises a log. Logs are directed to files or stored on disk. Typical reasons why we perform log analysis are: Improved security, System trouble shooting and network administration [11]. Intelligent Feedback system: Some packets take lot of time for processing due to rule reorder. So we are going for feedback mechanism which will lead improvement in performance and throughput of firewall. For example, if there three similar rules, feedback mechanism will identity it and combine them to single rule. This will result in improved performance Export opinion: Intelligent feedback system collects the dynamic opinions regarding the reordering rules from the expert and it will modify the rule based reordering .The output of the process will be reordered rules. This will lead to improved performance in the rule based reordering of
