I agree that routers, switches, and firewalls all play important roles in keeping a network running smoothly and safely. I like how you explained that routers use routing tables to find the best path for data. That really shows how smart and efficient they are in managing network traffic. Your point about switches helping devices in a LAN communicate better also stood out. It is cool how they send data only to the right device instead of the whole network, which keeps things fast and organized.
I also found your explanation of firewalls clear. They are important in protecting networks from hackers or harmful traffic. It is good to know that firewalls follow rules to decide what data should be allowed in or out. Altogether, you made it easy to understand how these three devices work together to build strong and secure networks. Thanks again for your detailed post!
