Which of the following packets should NOT be dropped at a firewall protecting an organization's internal network?
Outbound packets with an external destination IP address should not be dropped because they represent normal outbound traffic initiated by internal users trying to reach external resources. Dropping these packets would disrupt the ability of internal network users to access external services, which is typically necessary for normal operations. Conversely, packets with source routing options, router information exchange protocols, and inbound packets with internal source IP addresses could pose security risks or indicate misconfigurations and should generally be dropped.
Inbound packets with an internal address as the source IP address. These packets are likely to be generated by internal hosts, and their traffic needs to be allowed to reach other internal hosts and systems. Blocking this traffic would disrupt normal network communications and potentially prevent internal hosts from functioning properly.
