Firewalls have long been a contentious component of network architecture. Security needs have dictated that active 
filtering capabilities are necessary for network traffics. Research computing and grid applications often require 
end-to-end network transparency. However both constituencies are trying to deliver a secure network the meets the 
application needs of their user communities. This discussion-oriented session will investigate these competing 
priorities with perspectives from the security architecture, research, grid, and operational network communities.
