Re: inbound vs outbound?
Hi
U R right about hosts.
But I am to design a security gateway in hardaware that is located in heart
of a high speed router that has many interfaces.
no packet is generating from my machine. so with your idea there is no
outbound there. just pay attention to this fact that every packet that is
destined to my machine is in tunnel mode.
By now tell me what is wrong with my opinion
"every packet is outbound else its destination IP is IP of this machine and
it is in tunnel mode (this security gateway) ."
