Stateful firewall is a firewall configuration that is designed to inspect and manage traffic based on its source and destination address. Stateful firewall can also identify traffic based on the type of traffic (e.g. http, https, icmp, etc.

), and the protocol that is being used. Stateful firewall can also track the traffic flow over time and make adjustments to the firewall rules accordingly. Stateful firewall can also be used to protect the network from attacks.
