- A hardware device is designed to take the incoming packet, analyze the packet, moving the packets to another network, converting the packets to another network interface, dropping the packets, directing packets to the appropriate location, and performing any other number of other actions.
- Technically, a router is a layer 3 gateway device meaning that it connects two or many networks and that the router operates at the network layer of the OSI model
- Routers primary function is to connect networks together and keep certain kinds of broadcast traffic under control
- Devices that connect to your router that is, the computer, tablets, smartphone, DVRs, Game system, and so on are called client. Each client on the network is given an address, which helps your router direct traffic.
- Clients within the network get a local IP address, while your modem gets a global Ip address.
- The global IP address is like a street address while Local IP address like an apartment number one lets you find the buildings in relation to the rest of the world, while the other lets you find the specific location within the complex.
Features Of Routers
- Router limits the collision domain.
- A router can function on LAN and WAN.
- A router can connect different media and architectures.
- A router can determine the best path/route for data to reach the destination.
- A router can filter broadcasts.
Types Of Router
1.)Brouter:
Short for bridge router, a brouter is a networking device that serves as both a bridge and a router.
2.)Core Router:
A core router is a router in a computer network that routes data within a network but not between networks.
3.)Edge Router:
An edge router is a router in a computer network that routes data between one more network.
4.)Virtual Router:
A virtual router is a backup router used a VRRPC (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol setup).
5.)Wireless Router:
See the access point definition for further information.
Switch vs Router:
- The switch creates a network.
- Routers connect networks.
Router vs Modem:
- A router different than a modem your modem connects you to the internet while your router connects your computer to one another.
