Interface ConnectionFilter

public interface ConnectionFilter

Interface defining a generic IP level connection filter.
Due to the fact that this task depends heavily on application context, I chose a very generic way of applying IP level connection filtering.

Implementations should consider following issues:

• performance
• administration (maybe via an admin shell)
• logging denials
