Since IP is an unreliable, Best-effort Protocol, it is unaware of the quality of job it is performing. IP packets are sent without certainty that they will be received. The IP protocol makes a best-effort to deliver packets, but it has no way of determining whether the packets are delivered successfully or whether they are lost en route. IP has no way to inform the sender of reliability problems. Thus, TCP can be relied on to inform the sender of delivery problems.

What kinds of packets can cause problems for even a stateful packet filter?

Stateful packet filters can struggle with packets that utilize fragmentation, as they may not reassemble fragmented packets correctly, leading to potential security vulnerabilities. Additionally, packets that exploit application-layer protocols, such as malformed HTTP requests or DNS spoofing attempts, can bypass stateful inspection if the filter does not adequately analyze the payload. Moreover, encrypted packets can pose challenges, as the filter may not be able to inspect their contents or verify their legitimacy without decrypting them.
