Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stateless packet filtering only looks at the header of the incoming packet and checks it against a predetermined set of rules to determine if it should be allowed through or not. Stateful packet filtering, on the other hand, not only looks at the header but also keeps track of the state of the connection between the two devices and makes decisions based on that, making it more advanced than stateless packet filtering. Hubs and stateful hubs are networking devices used for connecting multiple devices together, and their function is different from packet filtering.
