Understanding Routers in Networking

The document provides an overview of routers, detailing their function in connecting different networks and facilitating data routing. It distinguishes between wired and wireless routers, explains routing operations like broadcast and multicast, and describes the purpose of routing tables. Additionally, it introduces types of routers, including edge and core routers, and their roles in network infrastructure.

Router
Router is a networking device which is used to provide interaction
between two different networks. Router are also used for provide the
routes to the data and devices that are connected in network. Router are
used to establish internetwork communication
A router inspects a given data
packet's destination Internet
Protocol address (IP address), and
provide connection to the nodes with
the main network. It gives you wired
and wireless both connectivities.
A Router connecting a LAN
WIRED ROUTER
A Wired router is a networking device whose software and hardware [in
combination] are customized to the tasks of routing and forwarding
information{DATA} through Wired Connection
WIRELESS ROUTER
•A Wireles router is a networking device whose software and hardware [in
combination] are customized to the tasks of routing and forwarding
information{DATA} through Wireless Connection.
WIRED ROUTER CONFIGURATION
Every Wire Will be Connected Corresponding to Specified
Ports.

Interface
Router it needs special hardware, called interface cards, to connect to
remote devices through either copper cables or Optical fiber cable.
These interface cards are in fact(things known) small computers that are
specialized to convert electric signals from one form to another.
TRAFFIC ROUTER ROUTING OPERATION

• BROADCAST ROUTING
• MULTICAST ROUTING
BROADCAS
T
In broadcast routing, Packets/Source are sent to all nodes even if they
do not want it. But in Multicast routing, the data is sent to only nodes which
wants to receive the packets. The router must know that there are nodes, which
wish to receive multicast packets (or stream) then only it should forward.
• Deliver packets from source to all other nodes.
• Source duplication{repeat something} is inefficient:
MULTICAST
Multicast routing, the data is sent to only nodes which wants to
receive the packets. The router must know that there are nodes, which
wish to receive multicast packets (or stream) then only it should forward.
ROUTER ROUTING TABLE.
A routing table is used for finding the IP address to which a
packet should be forwarded so that it may reach its destination.

Network destination: The IP address refers to the IP address of the


destination to which the packet has to reach.

Netmask: This is the subnet mask for the network.

Gateway: Gatewayspecify the IP address to which a given packet


should be

TYPES OF ROUTERS
Edge Router: An ER is placed at the edge of an ISP network. The router
speaks external BGP (EBGP) to a BGP speaker in another provider or large
enterprise Autonomous System(AS). This type of routers is also called PE
(Provider Edge) routers. Mostly used as LAN connection.
NOTE:
(ISP) Internet Service Providers
(BGP ) Border Gateway
Protocol.
Core Router:
A Core router is one that resides(to live or have one's) within an AS as back bone to carry traffic
between edge routers.
A core router is a router designed to operate in the Internet backbone, or core. To fulfill this role, a
router must be able to support multiple telecommunications interfaces of the highest speed in use in
the core Internet and must be able to forward IP packets at full speed on all of them.
NOTE:
(ISP) Internet Service Providers
(BGP) Border Gateway Protocol.
(AS) Autonomous Systems.
