Definition: Firewall ABB is a technology Service that enables the implementation of a network security component that monitors and controls the incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules Source: Inspired in referent cloud service providers definitions Example: The following implementation is an example on how this specific Architecture Building Block (ABB) can be instantiated as a Solution Building Block (SBB): pfSense® software is a free, open source customized distribution of FreeBSD specifically tailored for use as a firewall and router that is entirely managed via web interface. In addition to being a powerful, flexible firewalling and routing platform, it includes a long list of related features and a package system allowing further expandability without adding bloat and potential security vulnerabilities to the base distribution. https://www.pfsense.org/about-pfsense/ eira:iopDimension: Structural IoP LOST view: TVI-Networking Infrastructure Enablers [Motivation] eira:iopSaliency: The Firewall ABB is salient for technical interoperability because it permits control of the traffic between the public administration and the different information providers and information consumers.
