Hi,
I have seen a lot of firewalls which have time-based access restriction for 
each of the rules in the Access-Control List.

Now, supposed that, in one of the rules, I allow FTP access from Host 
H1(internal) to H2(on internet) only between 3pm-3:30pm everyday. Suppose I 
start an FTP session from H1 to H2 at 3:29pm. Will the session be aborted at 
3:31pm? Or that, this time-bound access is applicable only at the start of 
the session. Can I please know how do firewalls normally behave? And if I 
buy each kind of them, what are the advantages and disadvantages. Well, I am 
sure this is a very trivial issue but, dont wanna take chances.

Thanks in advance.

Sujeet
