DMZ

DMZ: Demilitarised Zone. A computer within a DMZ is unprotected by a firewall and typically any port accesses are routed through to that computer. A router will forward all traffic to the computer in the DMZ if it does not otherwise have a rule for how to forward traffic on a given port. (The computer within the DMZ may still be protected by its own separate firewall.)
