Issue 2868:  Problems with routing and/or traversal of firewalls. (firewall-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: Issues 7-9 refer to problems with routing and/or traversal of firewalls.
 These problems arise due to a lack of required information about firewall
 topology in the IOR.  Most of these problems could be eliminated if it were
 required that the servers place the entire chain of server-side firewalls
 that must be traversed into the IOR.  Specifically, the first paragraph in
 section 4.8 should be modified so that the entire chain of firewalls is
 always required, or those situations in which it should be required should
 be stated.  Some of those situations are outlined in the following issues.
 Specifically, it is incorrect to state that "strictly it is only necessary
 to convey information on the outermost inbound firewall."

Issues 7-9 refer to problems with routing and/or traversal of
firewalls.
These problems arise due to a lack of required information about
firewall
topology in the IOR.  Most of these problems could be eliminated if it
were
required that the servers place the entire chain of server-side
firewalls
that must be traversed into the IOR.  Specifically, the first
paragraph in
section 4.8 should be modified so that the entire chain of firewalls
is
always required, or those situations in which it should be required
should
be stated.  Some of those situations are outlined in the following
issues.
Specifically, it is incorrect to state that "strictly it is only
