MODEM PROCESSOR FIREWALL OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17931606 titled 'MODEM PROCESSOR FIREWALL OPERATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a system where an application processor provides firewall rules to a modem processor, which then generates filters based on these rules to block data packets that meet certain criteria.
- Application processor provides firewall rules to modem processor
- Modem processor generates filters based on the rules
- Filters are applied to data packets received by the modem
- Data packets that meet blocking criteria are dropped
Potential Applications
- Network security systems
- Data packet filtering in communication devices
- Firewall operations in modems and routers
Problems Solved
- Efficient data packet filtering
- Improved network security
- Streamlined firewall operations
Benefits
- Enhanced data packet security
- Faster and more accurate filtering process
- Better protection against malicious attacks
Original Abstract Submitted
In aspects of modem processor firewall operations, an application processor may provide to a modem information related to one or more firewall rules configured to enable the modem to block data packets satisfying filter criteria consistent with the one or more firewall rules. A modem processor may receive from the application processor one or more firewall rules used by the application processor for performing firewall operations on received data packets, generate one or more filters executable by the modem processor based on the received one or more firewall rules for application to data packets received by the modem, and drop received data packets that meet blocking criteria of the generated one or more filters.
