Firewall Network Processor: core concept and solutions 3 Key issues many companies : spend millions of dollars each year investing in business systems to make information available to authorized persons and customers spend millions of dollars each year investing in business systems to make information available to authorized persons and customers seeing business value in access to Internet information infrastructure to improve employee performance seeing business value in access to Internet information infrastructure to improve employee performance … and seeking technology that can to give employees new functionality without opening the door to attacks and unauthorized access to securing sensitive business data seeking technology that can to give employees new functionality without opening the door to attacks and unauthorized access to securing sensitive business data

Firewall Network Processor: core concept and solutions 4 Introduction best-effort service (no internal QoS mechanism) best-effort service (no internal QoS mechanism) simple authentication model ( trust network environment ) simple authentication model ( trust network environment ) Basic Internet principal and security issue: Comments: To enjoy Internet as a business media people must take control of traffic content in the many forms (VLAN,VPN, VoIP,…) and channels (IP, P2P..) A deep understanding of how employees use Internet recourses requires effective security and management solution.

Firewall Network Processor: core concept and solutions 5 Network infrastructure: are any “right places” for investment with low risks and expense? Network access policy communication lines Set of “intelligent” nodes - applications Business in a form of “applications” – Benephisheries: ASP, banks, electronic commerce companies, GRID computing, etc Business in a form of “packet traffic”, connectivity, and bandwidth Benephisheries: hardware and software suppliers, ISP, Telco, e-PTN Service level Low Expense “border” Packet processes Low Risk “border” Comments: business opportunity is close to service and access “border” customers will deploy the security solution that suits their existing environment.

Firewall Network Processor: core concept and solutions 7 Internet as a service media: Intellectual services (DB, CAD, PDM, routing, switching,) belongs to the network nodes; Telco service measures - bandwidth and delay Comment: There is “Gap” in the network service space - no “intelligent ” service processing on wire level Is this gap” become the business opportunity? User needs - Applications ASP keeps Servers ISP controls IP Routers Telco provides wire grid Application Port/MAC/IP n MAC/IP i Application port/IP/MAC 1 Application IP/MAC 2

Firewall Network Processor: core concept and solutions 10 Design Aspects: Asynchrony packet flow processing– “one hop many functions” (content and packet filtering) Asynchrony packet flow processing– “one hop many functions” (content and packet filtering) Scalable filtering performance – “one transport protocol many security applications” (web, ftp, sql,..) Scalable filtering performance – “one transport protocol many security applications” (web, ftp, sql,..) Deliver hardware level performance to software programmable device by:
