ISC2 SSCP Exam - Topic 2 Question 115 Discussion

While neither CBK nor AIO3 use the term 'screening router,' they both discuss how the packet filtering capabilities of a router can be used to block traffic much like a packet filtering firewall. Krutz and Vine use this term on p. 90.

'A scanning router' is incorrect. This is a nonsense term to distract you.

'A shielding router' is incorrect. This is a nonsense term to distract you.

'A sniffing router' is incorrect. This is a nonsense term to distract you.
