 1. Now that you have completed the new rule base for the law firm, as described in Case Project 9-1, your next task is to recommend a software firewall to install on the firm’s workstations. Your supervisor wants you to consider both commercial and free products. Research both kinds of software firewalls, choose one product from each category and then prepare a report that presents your choices and explains the advantages and disadvantages of each product.

2.  You work for a network consulting firm and you have been asked to create a guide for firewall selection. Create an outline for a section that lists and defines the most important parameters of firewall functions, such as throughput.
