Cut-through proxy is a feature unique to PIX Firewall that allows user-based authentication of inbound or outbound connections. A proxy server analyzes every packet at layer seven of the OSI model, which is a time- and processing-intensive function. By contrast, the PIX Firewall uses cut-through proxy to authenticate a connection and then allow traffic to flow quickly and directly.
