A networking security method of controlling access.

Let's say I don't want users to surf the internet - I can deny access via the port specifically allocated to the HTTP protocol used in web pages (port 80), and no browser will be able to send out requests to access web pages.

If you don't understand about TCP/IP ports, there's info on Wikipedia.

What is the difference between port filtering and port forwarding?

There is no difference between port mapping and port forwarding and both are equal and in some router they are used instead of the other one . The meaning of these names is that "New connections from the outside to a certain port or port range go to a designated LAN machine. The ports are determined by the kind of server you want to run, (e.g. 80 for a web server) and the IP is the private LAN IP of your web server."
