What is a router?

As we explained previously, the router is that device that connects different computers in the same local area network, allowing the exchange of data packets between the computers that are in that network. Enterprise router is a basic product for any business/enterprise. This device operates in layer three of the OSI model , according to which there is a source and a destination equipment, both interwoven through the router itself. Therefore, this device allows several computers to link and share, for example, the same Internet connection.

The main function of the router is to interconnect a set of IP machines and establish the route that will be destined to each of the data packets within that computer network integrated by the different computers. In this way, it will try to define what is, at each moment, the most appropriate route to transfer said data. For this, the device will use a routing protocol , thanks to which it will connect to other routers with which it will share information to determine the fastest route.
