Dynamic Packet Filtering: A security measure used in network firewalls to manage the flow of network traffic in real-time. Unlike static packet filtering, which only examines a packet based on predefined rules, dynamic packet filtering evaluates packet information within the context of the packet’s state or connection, providing a more adaptive and sophisticated approach to network security.
