02. Introduction
A router is an electronic wireless device used to control and manage data packet transmission
over a local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN) or the internet. Routers determine
the way in which signals are to be transmitted depending on a pre-designed infrastructure
requirement. Moreover, routers have the capability to proactively identify other networking
devices, thereby ensuring a seamless and effective data packet transmission. Hence, routers
can be designed for static or dynamic routing. In Enterprises, routers are fast evolving from being
a mere routing device to a more intelligent network device with additional capabilities. These
features include multi-service functionalities such as ensuring security, enabling multiple
applications, superior traffic management, and providing multiple services, integrated voice
and video conference, within the same device. The evolution of integration router modules
within routers has reduced network administration burdens
