A short discussion of some problems of magnetosheath physics is presented. In particular, anisotropic MHD models of the magnetosheath are discussed. A method to estimate the value of the characteristic relaxation time /(τ) of the proton temperature anisotropy from experimental data is proposed. Another problem considered in the review concerns the conditions of formation of a magnetic barrier within the magnetosheath. The existing controversy in this question is explained in the authors' opinion by different definitions of the term ``magnetic barrier'' used in papers by Pudovkin et al. J. Geophys. Res., 87 (1982) 8131; Ann. Geophys. 13 (1995) 828) and Phan et al. J. Geophys. Res. 99 (1994) 121). Experimental data on the magnetic barrier dependence on the IMF orientation are discussed.
