 Both client and server are waiting for a valid connection a limited amount  
of time. If the MaxRTT or MaxRTO is greater than 3 seconds, than the time  
limit in the SFW test is 3 seconds. Otherwise the time limit in the SWF  
test is 1 second.

-The test is finished after the connection will be accepted or the time  
limit will be exceeded. If the time limit is exceeded, the firewall  
probably exists somewhere on the end-to-end path. If there is a connection  
and the pre-defined string is properly transferred, then there is no  
firewall on the end-to-end path. The third possibility is that there is a  
successful connection, but the expected pre-defined string is not  
transferred. This case does not adjudicate about the firewall existence.

firewall with a range of opened ports or a special rules that allowed this  
one particular connection to the ephemeral port). The third possibility is  
that there is a successful connection, but the expected pre-defined string

existence.

 In the last step the server sends its results to the client.
