Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The router can obtain routing entries in static or dynamic mode and maintain its own routing table.
Detailed explanation-3: -Similar to switches, routers forward packets from source to destination. However, routers forward packets based on the global routing header (GRH).
