QoS: What Is It? Why Do We Need It?

whitepaper Quality of Service (QoS) is the ability to treat packets differently as they transit a network device, based on the packet contents. Without QoS, all packets on the network vie for the same pool of resources, and when congestion occurs.

Firewall Policy Reconstruction by Active Probing: An Attacker's View

whitepaper This paper shows how an attacker can reconstruct a firewall's policy by probing the firewall by sending tailored packets into a network and forming an idea of what the policy looks like. The first approach is based on region growing from single...

FireCracker: A Framework for Inferring Firewall Policy Using Smart Probing

whitepaper It shows how an attacker can reconstruct a firewall's policy by probing the firewall with tailored packets into a network and forming an idea of what the policy looks like. Three techniques are proposed for reconstructing the policy as well as to...
