Intermediary box on the data path between a source host and destination host
A middlebox is a computer networking device that transforms, inspects, filters, and manipulates traffic for purposes other than packet forwarding.[1] Examples of middleboxes include firewalls, network address translators (NATs), load balancers, and deep packet inspection (DPI) devices.[2]
UCLA computer science professor Lixia Zhang coined the term middlebox in 1999.[1][3]
