| - | A **Router** helps transmit packets to their destinations by charting a path through the sea of interconnected networking devices using different network topologies. Routers are intelligent devices, and they store information about the networks they’re connected to. Most routers can be configured to operate as packet-filtering firewalls and use [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:a:acl]]. Routers, in conjunction with a channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU), are also used to translate from [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:l:lan|LAN]] framing to [[ddsf:private:guidebook:06_append:glossary:w:wan]] framing. This is needed because LANs and WANs use different network protocols. Such routers are known as border routers. They serve as the outside connection of a LAN to a WAN, and they operate at the border of your network. | + | A **Router** helps transmit packets to their destinations by charting a path through the sea of interconnected networking devices using different network topologies.

| Router are also used to divide internal networks into two or more subnetworks. Routers can also be connected internally to other routers, creating zones that operate independently. Routers establish communication by maintaining tables about destinations and local connections. A router contains information about the systems connected to it and where to send requests if the destination isn’t known. Routers usually communicate routing and other information using one of three standard protocols: Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). | Router are also used to divide internal networks into two or more subnetworks.
