What would be in such a section? There are only three possibilities:

1. There is no firewall: no need for text.
2. There is a firewall, and it doesn't try to block the protocol: no  
need for text.
3. There is a firewall, and it tries to block the protocol.

So what text would be helpful in case #3? Either the firewall  
successfully blocks the protocol and the firewall works and the  
protocol doesn't, or the firewall doesn't manage to block the  
protocol and the protocol works but the firewall doesn't. So whatever  
happens, someone is going to be unhappy.
