Q2. What are the different types of firewalls?
Answer:
The different types of firewalls are:
Packet filter – A packet filter looks at each packet entering the network and, based on its policies, permits or
denies these packets. A Cisco IOS Access Control List (ACL) is a basic firewall that works in this way.
Stateful packet filter – A stateful packet filter also has rules; however, it keeps track of the TCP connection
state so it is able to monitor the “conversations” as they happen on the network. It knows the normal flow of the
conversations and knows when the conversations are over. Thus, it more intelligently is able to permit and deny
packets entering the network. Because of this, a stateful packet filter (stateful firewall) is much more secure
than a regular packet filter.
Application gateway – An application gateway is a system that works for certain applications only. It knows
the “language” that that application/protocol uses and it monitors all communications. An example would be a
SMTP gateway.
Proxy Server – A proxy server performs network transactions on your behalf. The most common use for this is
a Web-proxy server. A Web-proxy will take requests from users’ Web browsers, get the Web pages from the
Internet, and return them to the user’s browser.

Q3. Write DSL Parameters with their different Values? On what things the values of these parameters depend?

Answer
DSL Parameters
1. SNR Margin: Signal to Noise Ratio
i. SNR Margin Depends on :
a. Line Condition
b. Number of Joints in the Telephone Line
c. Profile Attached to the subscriber port at DSLAM
ii. Value of SNR
a. More value of SNR Margin is required to provide proper speed
b. Different Values of SNR
>+30db Excellent DSL
Between +30db to +20db Very Good DSL
Between +20db to +10db Good DSL
Around +10db Satisfactory DSL
Less than +10db and negative Unsatisfactory DSL

2. Attenuation: How much signal strength is attenuated over the copper pair/telephone line
i. Attenuation depends
a. on distance between DSLAM and CPE
b. Thickness of the copper pair

ii. Value of Attenuation

a. Less value of Attenuation is required to provide proper speed of BB
b. Around +20db is okay if more signal is attenuated means compromising with
the BB speed. If the value of attenuation +60db—No DSL
