What is a Router?
A router is a device that forwards traffic between networks based on network layer information in 
the data and on routing tables maintained by the router. In these routing tables, a router builds up a 
logical picture of the overall network by gathering and exchanging information with other routers 
in the network. Using this information, the router chooses the best path for forwarding...
