It permits incoming packets that are legitimate responses to requests from internal hosts.
firewall, router,layer 3 switches and i approve that answer ! NO! In general the firewall is a layer 4 device, it traffics filter incoming and outgoing ports. It uses the function of TCP and UCP. However a Firewall can also be a layer 3 device as in internal firewall in a router. Also a switch is a layer 2 device unless your talking about a Router switch.
Incoming packets must be legitimate responses to requests from internal hosts. Unsolicited packets are blocked unless permitted specifically. SPI can also include the capability to recognize and filter out specific types of attacks such as DoS.
They are receptors.

Installation of a firewall can give a false sense of security, because many users do not understand the limitations of a firewall. Specifically, a firewall primarily defends against unsolicited incoming attacks: a hacker tries to access the internal network from the outside. Firewalls often fail to effectively protect from threats from the inside: viruses (malware of all sorts, worms, etc), once active on the inside, may be able to spread within the network, and spawn network activity that traverses the firewall in both directions.
A firewall is something that protects your computer from viruses--a barrier between your computer and where the viruses come from. A firewall can be hardware, software or a combination. A firewall is generally a network security device or software that actively monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic. It can either allow or block certain traffic based on a defined set of internet security protocols. A firewall acts as a barrier that limits the damages from internal and external cyber attacks. The firewall can be broadly divided into host-based and network-based. A host-based firewall is normally installed on individual servers and monitors incoming and outgoing network signals. A network-based firewall is established in the cloud's infrastructure or it can be a virtual firewall service.
A firewall operates at the network layer of a computer system, typically positioned between the internal network and external networks, such as the internet. It can be implemented as hardware, software, or a combination of both, filtering incoming and outgoing traffic based on predefined security rules. Firewalls can be found in routers, dedicated appliances, or as software applications on individual devices, protecting against unauthorized access and threats.
NAT

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a common firewall feature that provides internal address structure protection by hiding internal IP addresses from external networks. NAT replaces internal IP addresses with a single public IP address when communicating with the internet, adding a layer of security by concealing internal network topology.
