Abstract
The given article is a continuation of a number of works devoted to the development of models and methods for ranging the filtration rules to prevent a decrease in the firewall performance caused by the use of a sequential scheme for checking packet compliance with the rules, as well as by the heterogeneity and variability of network traffic. The article includes a description of a firewall mathematical model given in the form of a complex system and a queuing system with a phase-type discipline for request servicing, which formalizes the network traffic filtering process with the functionality of ranging the rules. The purpose of modeling is to obtain estimates for major firewall performance metrics for various network traffic behavior scenarios, as well as to evaluate an increase in the firewall performance due to ranging a filtration rule set. Calculation of estimates for the firewall (FW) performance metrics was made using the analytical method for a Poisson request flow. Based on the analysis of the modeling results, conclusions were drawn on the effectiveness of ranging the filtration rules in order to improve the firewall performance for traffic scenarios that are close to real ones.
