Robust Security and Network Monitoring Using IP Packet Filtering

Ever-increasing numbers of IP router products are offering packet filtering as a tool for improving network security. Used properly, packet filtering is a useful tool for the security-conscious network administrator, but its effective use requires a thorough understanding of its capabilities and weaknesses that filters are being applied to. This paper examines the utility of IP packet filtering as a network security measure. In Proposed work, Filtering performs different types of tasks like IP filtering which ensures filtering by checking IP address of requested machine and server serves the request given by client and load filtering ensures all the loads given to that server which prevents from DOS attack. This paper ensures robust security and monitors the network traffic efficiently using IP Packet filtering.
