13. 13What is stateful packet inspection?

    1. AMonitors the state of active connections and uses information to determine which network packets to allow through the firewall
    2. BInspects all layers of a packet to specifically allow or deny information pieces of information inside a packet
    3. COpens IP Packets and looking beyond basic network protocol information and can tell the difference between different ports and applications
