TCP/IP Packet Filtering

The TCP/IP Network Provider of the ClearPath MCP environment can filter network traffic using the following criteria:

  • Source and destination IPv4 or IPv6 addresses

  • Source and destination port ranges

  • Usercodes

  • Codefile names

  • Time of day and day of week

  • TCPIP authorized applications (applications which are allowed to open port numbers below 1024 can be extended to other port numbers as well)

  • Transport protocol (TCP or UDP)

The traffic can either be put in a “deny” list or an “allow” list. The list of rules (also called the TCPIPSECURITY rules) can be tested before deployment through Security Center.
