Abstract
A TCP forwarder is a network node that establishes and forwards data between a pair of TCP connections. For example, a firewall that places a proxy between a TCP connection to an external host and a TCP connection to an internal host - for the purpose of implementing access control to a resource on the internal host - is an example of a TCP forwarder.
