Detailed explanation-1: -A Router is a process of selecting path along which the data can be transferred from source to the destination. Routing is performed by a special device known as a router. A router is a networking device that forwards the packet based on the information available in the packet header and forwarding table.
Detailed explanation-2: -Routing is the assignment of a path by which a message reaches its destination. The domain name effectively defines the message destination. In a large network like the Internet, information is routed from one communications network to the next until that information reaches its destination.
Detailed explanation-3: -Routing is the process by which systems decide where to send a packet. Routing protocols on a system “discover” the other systems on the local network. When the source system and the destination system are on the same local network, the path that packets travel between them is called a direct route.
