Abstract
this paper we present the hardware design of a high-speed ATM firewall that does not require the termination of an end-to-end connection in the middle. We propose a novel firewall design philosophy, called Quality of Firewalling (QoF), that applies security measures of different strength to traffic with different risk levels and show how it can be implemented in our firewall. Compared with the traditional firewalls, this ATM firewall performs exactly the same packet-level filtering without compromising the performance and has the same "look and feel" by sitting at the chokepoint between the trusted ATM LAN and untrusted ATM WAN. It is also easy to manage and flexible to use.
