Routers are network devices that operate at Layer 3 (Network Layer) of the OSI model. They analyze the destination IP address of incoming data packets and use routing tables to determine the best path to forward the packet to its destination network. This function is essential for connecting different networks, such as a home network to the internet, or different subnets within an organization.
A ____ is used to transfer data packets between two computer networks.
