Hi all,
Let me summarise the responses.

Broun Bevan, Alex Stade, and Cian O Sullivan responded
to my query. Many a thanks to them :-)

All of them suggested me firewalls like IPFilter. I
guess I too need to consider something like that. But
I am not sure how these firewalls can conclude on the
potentially bad packets, if my port for a specific
sercvice (http, for example) open.

I guess some reading might help.

Thank you verymuch !
Rgds,
Abhilash
