The reason this part of the analogy is relevant (and why I set up the hardware store's representative buying the branches at the felling stage) is because in internet traffic I don't want just any old data packets, I need the ones that specifically relate to the connection I opened.

We could say for the sake of the analogy that the hardware store is buying all the pine and spruce, and the felling team is thus working only on those trees, but I want a birch tree to fuel my sauna (since it's in less demand, the price is lower).  That also makes it easier to identify my branches as they go through the pipeline.
