Detailed explanation-1: -Packet-filtering firewalls make processing decisions based on network addresses, ports, or protocols. Packet-filtering firewalls are very fast because there is not much logic going behind the decisions they make. They do not do any internal inspection of the traffic.
Detailed explanation-2: -Application-layer firewalls are best used to protect enterprise resources from web application threats. They can both block access to harmful sites and prevent sensitive information from being leaked from within the firewall.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stateful firewalls are capable of monitoring and detecting states of all traffic on a network to track and defend based on traffic patterns and flows. Stateless firewalls, however, only focus on individual packets, using preset rules to filter traffic.
