WHAT IS ROUTER
Routers are network devices that literally route data around the network.
the router can determine the destination address for the data.
the router determines the best way for the data to continue its journey, Unlike
bridges and switches
routers more functional than bridges or switches, and it also
makes them more complex because they have to work harder to determine the
information.
• The basic requirement for a router is that it must have at least two network interfaces.
• Example :If they are LAN interfaces, the router can manage and route the
information between two LAN segments
