Routers

Routers

critical to the internet
they route data packets along network cabiling
if this didn't happen then the data would have to go down every internet network to ensure it gets to the right destination
the destination of the packet is on the header of it, and is essentially the post code of the destination
the address allows the packet to use the most efficient route
if you have broadband at home then you use a modem/router
the modem recieves the broadband signal from your ISP via the telephone network
the router part then sends the packets of information to the correct machine in your house
