A control list of your firewall that you can access.

answer #2

--------------

an access control list is a set of rules that are compared to each incoming or outgoing packet or access to determine if they are allowed to pass. The rules have different formats depending on the manufacture but they do the same thing. For example a rule may say drop all packets to port external port 155, or drop all web requests from the inside to a particular web site. In a properly configured firewall all traffic is blocked unless it matches a specific rule, this prevents an application (like a virus) using an oddball port to communicate and download more dangerous software. When a new virus is discovered one way to prevent its spread is publicize the ports it uses so they can be at least monitored if not blocked entirely.
