QUESTION POSED ON: 08 August 2001
What are the differences and similarities between the original firewalls and current firewalls?

The paper at the link below is a little bit dated, but still provides a decent history of both the evolution of firewalls and an explanation of how they work. Thanks to Cisco for making the paper available.
