Explanation:
“An application-level gateway firewall is also called a proxy firewall. A proxy is a mechanism that
copies packets from one network into another; the copy process also changes the source and

destination address to protect the identity of the internal or private network. An application-level
gateway firewall filters traffic based on the Internet service (i.e., application) used to transmit or
receive the data.” – Shon Harris All-in-one CISSP Certification Guide pg 92
