The router consults a list of rules before forwarding an incoming packet to determine whether a packet meeting certain criteria should be permitted to reach the intended destination. The data link layer is responsible for framing and error detection, the transport layer is responsible for end-to-end communication, and the application layer is responsible for protocol specific operations.
