Hi, I've read inside USENIX PF paper that various application proxies are planned: what type of use is planned ? Would they permit traffic like ftp-proxy do with active FTP across NAT or will be application level filters ? Also I would like to know if ftp-proxy could be used to protect/filter a FTP server even if it's secure, like OpenBSD ftpd.
In the end, what would be the target: Protect a service or Permit a service ? Thanks. Ed
