+# GEP-3614: Firewall
+
+* Issue: [#3614](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/issues/3614)
+* Status: Provisional
+
+## TLDR
+
+The ability to attach firewall rules for ingress L3, L4 and L7 Gateway traffic.
+
+## Motivation
+
+`Gateways` are commonly exposed to the internet, which puts them as risk of
+attack. Internal networks can become compromised as well. We should provide
+tooling, documentation and best-practices for users to restrict and control
+access to their `Gateways`.
+
+### Definitions
+
+* "Firewall Engine" - A processor of request payloads and applies rulesets to
+  the contents to identify malicious, anomalous or otherwise unwanted traffic.
+  These are generally at the front of the request path, and may be attached to a
+  `Gateway` as a sidecar, integrated natively as part of the `Gateway`, or
+  deployed in front of the `Gateway` as part of the networking path.
+
+### User Stories
+
+* As an application developer, I want to allow specific IPs to access my
+  application.
+* As an application developer, I want to block or allow requests based on
+  headers; e.g. allow or deny specific user-agents.
+* As a gateway operator I want to be able to identify and block and log
+  malformed HTTP requests before they reach backend applications.
+* As a gateway operator I want to be able to provide my own signature-based
+  detection rulesets to spot patterns of known malicious traffic and block and
+  log them, updating those rules dynamically over time.
+* As a gateway operator I want to attach complete rulesets maintained by
+  upstream standards bodies to block well known common threats and dynamically
+  update for new threats over time.
+* As a gateway operator I want to detect anomalies in traffic (which may or
+  may not be conclusively malicious) and log the requests with the option to
+  block them as well.
+* As a cluster operator I want to be able to block traffic to gateways from
+  specific geographical regions, or only allow specific regions.
+* As a cluster operator I want to be able to rate limit traffic to gateways to
+  avoid overuse and abuse that could decrease stability and/or spike costs.
+* As a compliance officer I want to mutate (or block) and log responses that may
+  contain personally identifiable information (PII).
+* As a gateway operator and in the context of a request I want information about
+   the request (e.g. headers) to be defined as triggers for changes in the
+   subsequent rules that apply to the request (modifying, or even disabling those
+   rules based on the trigger).
+## Goals
+
+* Enable attaching firewall engines to a `Gateway`
+* Enable `Gateway`-level firewall rule enforcement
+* Enable `HTTPRoute`-level firewall rule enforcement
+* Enable processing of both requests _and_ responses
+* Provide documentation and best practices for implementations which describe
+  how firewall engines and rules can best be integrated into a Gateway API
+  implementation.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+* Building a firewall implementation
+* Mesh-level support
+
+## API
+
+**TODO**: First PR will not include any implementation details, in favor of
+building consensus on the motivation, goals and non-goals first. _"How?"_ we
+implement shall be left open-ended until _"What?"_ and _"Why?"_ are solid.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### NetworkPolicy
+
+When discussing this originally the obvious question whether `NetworkPolicy`
+is sufficient, or should have some role in this, was asked. We do not consider
+it sufficient to resolve the goals unto itself. For the purposes of this GEP,
+we consider `NetworkPolicy` as an implementation detail at most: implementations
+_may_ choose how they enforce firewall rules, whether some of that is
+implemented with `NetworkPolicy` under the hood or not is up to them.
