What you'll do

Routing is an important networking concept.

Routing is typically done by dedicated routers, but can also be done by host systems, such as pfSense or even a regular Linux machine.
In a production network, you would likely not use a Linux machine to perform routing, but by experimenting with routing on Linux, you can gain a deeper understanding of how it works and how to configure it.
