[Design-team] Firewall Graphics

[Leslie S Satenstein]

Hi Pete

I see the Firewall as the Customs and Immigration gatekeeper.   


The other view is a grading system for a product, where some items are rejected, and others are sorted into bins.

      firewall as more of the post office distribution (or sorting)
      centre. Anyone can send you mail, which ends up at a distribution
      centre, this centre filters your mail, deciding what gets passed
      through to your address, returned to sender or forwarded elsewhere
      (based on your personal rules for allowed 'mail'). The postman
      then arrives at your house with all mail the distribution centre
      has allowed through and delivers the mail which matches the
      mailboxes on your door which are open ('listening'), all other
      mail without open services (or open letter boxes for this analogy)
      are rejected.

      plus potential ports on their door, but in the graphics you would
      label each letterbox with a port number and only show open
      (listening) letterboxes on the door, which all mail has labelled
      with your address (your IP address). So the address on the
      envolope would be:

      representing the letterbox on your door.

>Your analogy is close to the same. Instead of PO Boxes, there are
    letterboxes; you have a distribution center in place of the local
    post office staff doing the sorting.  Having spent some time
    observing in such places, I think your view has the potential to be
    more appropriate as the discussion progresses.  I do worry that
    detailed comparisons to logistical organizations could grow to be
    just as esoteric to the layman - but that's where the graphics come
    in :)
