2233.0. "Screend and DECswitch routing software" by DPDMAI::DAVIES (Mark, SCA Area Network Consultant) Fri Apr 28 1995 10:54

    Sometime back, it was mentioned in this conference that the upcoming
    routing software for the DECswitches would include the "screend"
    software (used by SEAL security) so as to allow it to provide the
    firewall protection for connection to the Internet.
    
    This was mentioned (I believe) before the plan was made (or announced
    to the field) that we would be using Proteon based code.
    
    My question is: Is this still included?  Can the DECswitch 900s still
    provide firewall protection with the routing upgrade?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Mark

	No, screend will not be supported. But there will be other filtering options for IP (and the other 4 stacks). Anil
