A more in depth look at this can be found under the wikipedia article "Stateful_firewall" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateful_firewall . Either that info should be moved here or this should be moved there. I'll leave that to a pro, since i dont know what i'm doing here, but i though someone would like to know.

No dont think this content should be moved to "Stateful Firewall". Rather to about Deep packet inspection.
There seems to be a fundamental confusion here about what's meant by "application". Half of these firewalls are talking about understanding/deducing the protocol (e.g. HTTP), and the other half talk about identifying/validating the application (e.g. Safari) using signed executables and the like. Clearly these technologies are miles apart and shouldn't be confused.
Also are we firewalling all system access (e.g. AppArmour) or just network access? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.57.127.7 (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
There's not much in the way of coverage for this topic that I could find in google books. This one has a section, but there's not much stuff there for a separate article. Proposing to merge here. Pcap ping 00:45, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Frankly, I don't see the point in having any lists of products—it makes the article seem spammy. Any thoughts? — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 03:26, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
