WireGuard uses only [7] UDP, [5] due to the potential disadvantages of TCP-over-TCP. [7] [11] [12] Tunneling TCP over a TCP-based connection is known as "TCP-over-TCP", and doing so can induce a dramatic loss in transmission performance due to the TCP meltdown problem. Its default server port is UDP 51820.
Transparent content negotiation for the request results in a circular reference. [27] 507 Insufficient Storage (WebDAV; RFC 4918) The server is unable to store the representation needed to complete the request. [7] 508 Loop Detected (WebDAV; RFC 5842) The server detected an infinite loop while processing the request (sent instead of 208 Already ...
The three-way handshake is correctly performed. SYN Flood. The attacker (Mallory, green) sends several packets but does not send the "ACK" back to the server. The connections are hence half-opened and consuming server resources. Legitimate user Alice (purple) tries to connect, but the server refuses to open a connection, a denial of service.
The firewall can use these unique connection identifiers to know when to remove a session from the state table without waiting for a timeout. UDP is a connectionless protocol, [4] which means it does not send unique connection-related identifiers while communicating. Because of that, a session will only be removed from the state table after the ...
The OpenVPN protocol is detected and blocked. Connections not using symmetric keys or using "tls-auth" are blocked at handshake, and connections using the new "tls-crypt" option are detected and throttled (under 56 kbit/s) by the QoS filtering system. [citation needed] GRE tunnels and protocols that use GRE (e.g., PPTP) are blocked. [citation ...
Many network security devices block all ICMP messages for perceived security benefits, including the errors that are necessary for the proper operation of PMTUD. This can result in connections that complete the TCP three-way handshake correctly but then hang when attempting to transfer data. This state is referred to as a black hole connection. [7]
Deep packet inspection (DPI) is a type of data processing that inspects in detail the data being sent over a computer network, and may take actions such as alerting, blocking, re-routing, or logging it accordingly.
The term half-open connection can also be used to describe an embryonic connection, i.e. a TCP connection that is in the process of being established. TCP has a three state system for opening a connection. First, the originating endpoint (A) sends a SYN packet to the destination (B). A is now in an embryonic state (specifically, SYN_SENT), and ...
