What are the end devices used in networking?

An end device acts as the source (i.e., generates and transmits messages) or as the destination (i.e., receives and interprets messages, that is, consumes their information content) of the communication process, whereas the linked intermediary devices form a transmission system in order to transport the messages between the sender and the destination devices (also called hosts). End devices are attached to this transmission system by linking to an edge intermediary device (usually, a large number of end devices is connected with an edge device with some transmission media). Example of end devices include computers, IP phones, mobile phones, PDAs, etc. Examples of intermediary devices include hubs, switches, routers, etc.

What is work to router?

Electronic messages sent between computer networks are stored in the router, while it determines all of the possible paths to the destination address. The router then chooses the most expedient route, based on its investigations into the traffic load, distance, number of network points that the packet has to pass through, and cost algorythms between computer networks, before forwarding the packet to the final destination. Router hardware is a physical device which connects the local area network to the wide area network, it is responsible for routing network traffic from source to destination. These routers run on layer routing protocols and operate on network layer information.
