Router |
An
intelligent connecting device that can send packets to
the correct LAN segment to take them to their
destination.
Routers link LAN segments at the network layer of the
OSI Reference Model for computer-to-computer
communications. The networks connected by routers can
use similar or different networking protocols.
A
router may be one or more of the following types:
-
Central Acts as a
network backbone, connecting many LANs.
-
Peripheral
Connects individual LANs to either a central router
or to another peripheral router.
-
Local Operates
within its LAN driver's cable-length limitations.
-
Remote Connects
beyond its device driver limitations, perhaps
through a modem or remote connection.
-
Internal Part of
a network file server.
-
External Located
in a workstation on the network.
