Hi Junxiao,
I think RFC 3234 is good summary of MBs on Internet.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3234
Where the first paragraph suffices a neat definition:
"The phrase "middlebox" was coined by Prof. Lixia Zhang as a graphic
description of a recent phenomenon in the Internet. A middlebox is
defined as any intermediary device performing functions other than
the normal, standard functions of an IP router on the datagram path
between a source host and destination host."
Cheers,
zhen
