Device that forwards data packets between local area networks (LANs) or wide area networks (WANs). Referring to routing tables and routing protocols, routers read the network address in each transmitted packet. Routers then decide where to send the packet. A router bases this decision on the best route. When a router port detects a packet, the router checks the routing table. The port attempts to match the network number of the destination IP address with its routing table entry. If the port finds a match, it forwards the packet to the destination network. With no match, the port forwards the packet to a router defined as the default gateway.

Routers are special network devices used to connect one recognized computer network to another. Routers work like a postal worker; they examine the To addresses of network messages they are given and use part of the address like a zip code to figure out which computer network to send it to. Once a router has figured out which network the message should go to, it sends the message to another router, which repeats the process until the last router in the chain sends it directly to the computer listed in the destination address. Most WANs use routers to connect one LAN location to another.

A router is a device that "routes" network traffic between the devices connected to it on the network. In a typical home network, a router can often be used to share a broadband connection (DSL, Cable Modem) with a single IP Address among several different devices (computers and game systems). In the most common setups, the router actually negotiates the connection with the ISP, acting as the main internet access point, and then "shares" this connection among all the devices connected to it. In the most common home network setups, the router is connected directly to the internet access point (the DSL or Cable line) and then other devices (your computer, PS2, etc.) are plugged into the router. When used with DSL PPPoE connections, the router often "logs in" and establishes access with the ISP. Most routers support DHCP. Most routers also have Firewalls built in, so if you have trouble hosting a game with a router in your setup, please see the troubleshooting section.

An intelligent device that supports connectivity by "routing" packets of information to their destination. Routers ensure that packets always arrive at their proper destination.
A hardware device used in networking that looks inside the data packets to determine what kind of data is being sent. Routers read software addresses in the data packets in addition to hardware addresses to facilitate data routing. Routers are used for connecting different or separate LANs. If you are sending data to a computer that is not on your LAN or is on a different kind of LAN, you are using a router.
a descendent of the IMP, a router directs packets between separate local area networks. To make the connection more efficient, a router reads each packet's header and directs it in the fastest direction.
An electronic device that connects two networks. For example, a router may connect a local network to an ISP for Internet access. In a packet-switching network such as the Internet, it is one of the most basic devices. Routers receive packets of data, filter them, and forward them to a final destination using the best route.
A router is a device that connects two networks. The router reads the destination address of information sent over a network and then sends the information to the next step in its route.

A generic term for a class of network devices which route information around a network. See Bridge, Hub, Switch, and Internet Gateway.
A special-purpose computer (or software package) that handles the connection between 2 or more networks. Routers concentrate on looking at the destination addresses of the packets passing through them and deciding which route to send them on. Routers provide a link between geographically separate networks. An internetwork based on routing consists of many different logical subnetworks. Bridges and switches connect these subnetworks, improving network performance by keeping traffic within segments. Repeaters and hubs link segments together, and the workstations within the segments. Also see Bridge Hub Network Network Segment Switch Traffic

Routers create or maintain a table of the available routes and use this information to determine the best route for a given data packet.
A device that bridges an internal network to another network. Take a zebra crossing as an example: people that need to go to the other side of a broad (another network) need to use the crossing (the router). If they want to stay on their side of the road, they simply don't use the crossing.
A router is like traffic cop for the computers and networked products in your home. The router allows every connected device to use a single Internet connection or share files (if properly configured through the PC's OS). A router also provides strong protection against snooping or attacks by hackers or unauthorized users through their Firewalls. Using a router is the easiest and most common way to build a home network. Ethernet Routers: Some routers are Ethernet-only, in that they have ports for Ethernet cables and connect to the networked PCs over these wires (called RJ-45 cables). Wireless Routers: These routers have 802.11 wireless transmitter/receivers built into them. They usually also have Ethernet ports, so they give you the option of connecting your PCs using cable or wireless.

Restlet routing calls to one of the attached routes. Each route can compute an affinity score for each call depending on various criteria. The attach() method allow the creation of routes based on URI patterns matching the beginning of a the resource reference's remaining part. In addition, several routing modes are supported, implementing various algorithms: Best match (default) First match Last match Random match Round robin Custom Note that for routes using URI patterns will update the resource reference's base reference during the routing if they are selected. If you are using hierarchical paths, remember to directly attach the child routers to their parent router instead of the top level Restlet component. Also, remember to manually handle the path separator characters in your path patterns otherwise the delegation will not work as expected. Finally, you can modify the routes list while handling incoming calls as the delegation code is ensured to be thread-safe.
