    Chapter 1 Introduction This Chapter provides an overview of the TW100-BRV304's features and ca- pabilities. Congratulations on the purchase of your new TW100-BRV304. The TW100-BRV304 is a multi-function device providing the following services: • Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users. •...
  • Page 5: Advanced Internet Functions

    TW100-BRV304 User Guide Advanced Internet Functions • Communication Applications. Support for Internet communication applications, such as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult to use when behind a Firewall, is included. • Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall.
  • Page 6: Package Contents

    Introduction • Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom- ing server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources. • Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much band- width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable.
