  1. SYN Gateway When the server sends the SYN/ACK back to the client, the firewall will immediately send the ACK packet to the server.This will move the connection out of the backlog queue and into the active connection table. This is done because servers can handle a much large number of established connections than partially established connections. If the ACK is not received from the client within the timeout period, the firewall will send a RST to the server, closing that particular session.

  2. The RST is the flag that is given…remember when an attacker tries to set a Evasion techniques making use of the incrementing bit factor using a zombie machine..the machine would reset a RST when there is no open ports available.
