Router or router, (from the English router - network device) based on information about the network topology and certain rules, making decisions about forwarding network layer packets (layer 3 of the OSI model) between different segments of the network. It works at a higher level than the switch and the network bridge. Typically, the router uses the destination address specified in the data packets and determines the path to which the data should be sent from the routing table. If there is no route described in the routing table for the address, the packet is discarded. There are other methods for determining the packet forwarding path when, for example, the sender address, the upper layer protocols used, and other information contained in the network layer packet headers are used. In their work, routers exchange direct data packets, without using encryption.
