Actually, firewalls can filter both inbound and outbound traffic.

I think routing packets is more of a router's job.

I have a vague memory that firewalls examine traffic, so maybe option D is the one that doesn't fit?

I practiced a similar question where we discussed the characteristics of firewalls, and I feel like option A is definitely a characteristic.

I'm not sure, but I remember something about firewalls filtering both inbound and outbound traffic. Could it be option D?

I think option B might be the answer since firewalls don't typically route packets, right?

Ah, this is a tricky one. I'm going to have to really think through the firewall functions to figure out which of these is not a characteristic.

I remember learning about firewalls in my networking class. I think the key is to focus on the "not" part of the question and identify the characteristic that doesn't fit.

Okay, let me think this through. A firewall doesn't route packets between networks, that's a router's job. I'll go with that as the answer.

Haha, a firewall that only filters inbound traffic? That's like a security guard that only lets people in, not out. Option D is just silly.
