  • It might provide some type of content inspection from your users. It can look for malware going across your network, and it could stop spam from coming into your network.
  • So it may have a wide area network CSU/DSU associated with it. And of course, it may have routing and switching technology as well. This could act as your firewall. It may include an IPS as part of its technology, and it might even be able to do bandwidth shaping and quality of service all from one single device.
