One of the most common examples is the internet, where one connection is shared by an entire network with the help of a router.

Perhaps one good way to understand routers better is to differentiate it from other similar devices. A router uses two or more su < Read full article..>

But the similarities stop at the case, and the two pieces of equipment operate much differently.

A hub allows multiple devices to connect to the network, but each device maintains it’s own specific MAC address for the network. A hub can extend the range of a network, and allows connecting < Read full article..>

OSPF, short for Open Shortest Path First, is an interior gateway protocol.  This means that it
implements control within a LAN or WLAN over data distribution.  You may recall that RGP, or
Border gateway Patrol, provides routing as it leaves a network, and travels between routers.  OSPF
provides the same postal-type procedur < Read full article..>

There is RIP routing, and then there is IGRIP routing.  These two protocols help to guide traffic
around on the Internet.  Specifically, RIP is used to manage the number of successive hops a packet
of data must take.  RIP is used within a network to handle access hops within the network, and
IGRIP is used for handling data p < Read full article..>
