Stateful packet filtering is the process that maintains a table (also known as state table or connection table) that lists all established connections between internal computers and the internet. This table is used to determine whether an incoming packet is part of an ongoing communication initiated by an internal computer. It provides better security than static packet filtering as it tracks the state of a connection and allows only the expected traffic to pass through while blocking any unauthorized traffic. Access control list and deep packet inspection are other important security mechanisms, but they do not involve maintaining a state table for packet filtering.
