Introduction
A Communications Router
A router is a device that connects distinct parts of a network.
In the OSI Reference Model, a router is considered a Network Layer
device, meaning a router executes peer-to-peer communications with
other devices at all layers up to the Network Layer. A router
operates at a higher protocol layer than a repeater, which is a
Physical Layer device, or a bridge, which is a Data Link Layer
device. A router connects network segments that may communicate
using different Data Link Layer protocols but the same Network
Layer protocol. Routers forward packets from one medium to another
if doing so moves the packet closer to its destination.
