forwarding and packet
In IPv6, the packet header and the process of packet forwarding have been simplified.

Modern high-speed routers are highly specialized computers with extra hardware added to speed both common routing functions, such as packet forwarding, and specialised functions such as IPsec encryption.
A router is considered a Layer 3 device because its primary forwarding decision is based on the information in the Layer 3 IP packet, specifically the destination IP address.
A router does not look into the actual data contents that the packet carries, but only at the layer 3 addresses to make a forwarding decision, plus optionally other information in the header for hints on, for example, QoS.

In packet switching networks, routing directs packet forwarding, the transit of logically addressed packets from their source toward their ultimate destination through intermediate nodes, typically hardware devices called routers, bridges, gateways, firewalls, or switches.
Some stateful firewalls, like OpenBSD's pf ( 4 ) packet filter, can act as a proxy for connections: the handshake is validated ( with the client ) instead of simply forwarding the packet to the destination.
