given that a firewall is allows the elements in the transmission layer i.e tcp and udp this only gives the programmer one choice either set a maximum number of accesses at a time of a maximum at a particular time frame
Social engineering would not be a possible vulnerability or exploit that may lead to an attacker bypassing the firewall.
I had some suggestion on how to control the traffic. They can build an expressway that is convenient to the drivers. But this does not control the traffic. So ERP is the best way to control traffic. Other than that, the government could try putting some traffic police there.

Parliament could not effectively tax and control the colonies.
One can find the function of a firewall on various websites like Wikipedia and Dummies. One could also check his firewall in control panel and read what the function of a firewall is.
Cruise control could be dangerous if used on wet/slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
No. Concerning yourself with just the outside threats is one-sided - an infected computer could join the network or a networked computer could be infected through means other than the Internet itself (like inserting an infected pendrive), and that computer would then become a threat not just to the network behind the firewall, but also the Internet at large. Monitoring inbound traffic is a way to stop incoming infections, but a firewall should be configured to catch threats inside (and outbound) as well, in order to help stop the infection from spreading when it's already "in".
well, a firewall could do it, but an Intrusion Prevention System is the more obvious answer.
Could be the ESC (Electronic Spark Control) mounted to the center of the firewall under the hood.
You probably don't. You could try going to court and hoping the officer who issued the citation doesn't show up.
As you have probably noticed, is it not easy anymore with a standard firewall to block these kinds of applications. A few years a new trend has been launched so that most appliacations will pass port 80 (http) or 443 (https) . A good example for this is skype. In 2010 you could block the Skype service by blocking a port on your firewall. Now these days skype works on port 443 (Https). So with a regular firewall you can't see iif the HTTPS legimate or not.You have newer firewalls ( brands like Palo Alto, Juniper Networks, Barracuda Networks, ...) who have build a new kind of firewall (they call it the next generation firewall). It gives you the possibilty to define traffic and create policies for these kind of traffic depending on your LDAP structure.Conclusion:If you have a standard firewall: noIf you have a NG firewall: Yes
Firewall is a piece of software that creates a barrier between Internet and your PC. In short, Firewall analyzes the traffic that goes from and to your computer and blocks such packets (traffic) that could hurt your computer.
