(7 points) 5. 2.2.2: Who is the receiver program (of the packet) and where is the receiver (inside the firewall or outside the firewall)?

(8 points 2.2.5: Could this packet be the second sub-step packet (or signal) of the 3-way handshake process of the TCP session (or connection)? Why? (8 points) 9. 2.2.6: Could this packet be the third sub-step packet (or signal) of the 3-way handshake process of the TCP session (or connection)? Why? (8 points) 2.2.7: After the receiver program receives this packet, if the receiver wants to send a packet back to the sender, the above rule (rule D) does not authorize this packet to go through the firewall. 10. 2.2.7.1: Why rule D does not authorize this packet to go through the firewall? (8 points) 11. 2.2.7.2: A TCP connection has 3 steps (or phases): establish the connection, messages back and forth, terminate the connection. Is this packet part of Step 1, Step 2, or Step 3?
