Detailed explanation-1: -A router is a device that connects two or more packet-switched networks or subnetworks. It serves two primary functions: managing traffic between these networks by forwarding data packets to their intended IP addresses, and allowing multiple devices to use the same Internet connection.
Detailed explanation-2: -Routing tables are used to determine how an IP packet will be sent. If its destination IP address matches the local network, the data is sent to the destination host. If the address does not match the local network ID, the packet is sent to the router, or gateway for forwarding.
Detailed explanation-3: -Router. A router directs data requests from one network to another. Routers examine incoming packets to determine the appropriate destination IP address and then forward the packet to that destination. A router can also enable internet access through its connection to a modem, or as a combined modem-router.
