Abstract
Denial-of-service protection for a computing device on a first network is disclosed. In an embodiment, a packet containing a network address corresponding to a computing device on the first network is received from a source address of a second network by a gateway device. The packet includes a request to initiate a connection to the computing device on the first network. In response, an acknowledgement is transmitted to the source address. The acknowledgement includes sequence information sufficient to establish the requested connection, including a unique identifier. Subsequently received packets addressed to the network address of the computing device are forwarded by the gateway device to a corresponding network address of the computing device on the first network upon verifying a response to the acknowledgement.
