Best Answer

Incoming packets must be legitimate responses to requests from internal hosts. Unsolicited packets are blocked unless permitted specifically. SPI can also include the capability to recognize and filter out specific types of attacks such as DoS.

Which firewall feature is used to track communication channels and provides additional security for connectionless protocols?

Stateful Inspection. A stateful inspection firewall uses a technique known as stateful packet filtering to keep track of communication channels. This is different when compared to basic firewalls. Once the packet and connection has been sent, a normal firewall will not remember the communication channel, whereas the stateful inspection firewall will. This also proves useful to protect connectionless communication protocols.
