agreed, the proxy's inherent behaviour to establish the connection itself
is why it does not require it to be stateful which is why it castes a
doubt on performance capabilities at high speeds and is less than ideal
for a hosting environment.

application proxy does this inherently so it does not need a state table

Hello,

We are looking at a bunch of highend firewall and VPN options and  consine
seems to be an interesting one. But someone told me that currently
consine does not have a stateful firewall? Is that true. I was told they
can support packet filtering and applcation proxy only...
