Deep Packet Inspection

Deep Packet Inspection, also known as deep inspection, is a firewall technology similar to stateful packet inspection with some IDS signatures and some application protocol anomaly detection rules. In other words, a "Deep Inspection" firewall is going to provide all of the protections of a stateful firewall, plus signature checking for whatever signatures are loaded into it.
