Pros
----
 - Can filter traffic between local machines at reasonable cost

 - Can associate inappropriate outbound traffic with process, not
   just source address (which might be spoofed in some cases)

Cons
----
 - Can be (mis)managed by user 

 - Can cause support load by blocking "valid but unknown" traffic
