Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: A firewall is a filter placed at the entrance of a private network. Its function is to examine each packet that is incoming into the private network and decide, based on the specified rules of the firewall, whether to accept the packet and allow it to proceed, or to discard the packet. A property of a firewall is a specified set of packets that is supposed to be accepted or discarded by the firewall. ,  present the first linear time algorithm to verify whether a given firewall satisfies a given property. The time complexity of our algorithm is O(nd), where n is the number of rules in the given firewall and d is the number of fields that are checked by the firewall. Our verification algorithm consists of two passes: a deterministic pass follod by a probabilistic pass. In most cases, the algorithm correctly determines whether the given firewall satisfies the given property. But in some rare cases, the algorithm may erroneously determine that the firewall satisfies the property. Using a combination of analysis and extensive simulation,  show that the probability of an error by the algorithm is of the order of 6 × 10 −5 .
