Firewall:-
Firewall is a mechanism to provide limited access to machines either from the outside world to internal internet or from internal world to outside world.
Packet filtering:-
Packet filtering is the process of passing or blocking packets at a network interface based on source and destination addresses, ports, or protocols.
Router:-
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. Data sent through the internet, such as a web page or email, is in the form of data packets. A packet is typically forwarded from one router to another router through the networks that constitute an internetwork until it reaches its destination node.
