Routers Are Usually Located At The Network Layer

Routers are usually located at the network layer, so routing technology is also a technology related to the network layer, routers have many variations and differences compared to earlier bridges. In general, bridges have great limitations, they can only connect networks with the same or similar data link layers, and cannot connect networks with large differences between data link layers. But routers are different, it breaks this limitation, can connect any two different networks, but these two different networks to abide by a principle, that is, the same network layer protocol, so that can be connected by the router. Routing technology is simply a technology for forwarding and exchanging a large number of information on the network, specifically, transmitting information from the source address to the destination address through the Internet. Routing technology has also made good development and progress in recent years, especially the emergence of fifth-generation routers, which meet people's comprehensive applications of data, voice and images, and are gradually selected by most home networks and widely used. In addition, in recent years, China's routing technology has become more and more mature, and it has also combined with contemporary intelligent technology, so that people can experience the fast and fast effect in the process of using routing technology, thereby promoting and promoting the development of the Internet and network technology.
