Router works in Network Layer of OSI model
Assuming you are using the OSI Modem a router sits on Layer 3: Network
A router must implement the Physical layer, the Link layer, and the Network layer
Router is a Layer 3 (Network Layer)device that checks packet's IP Address at input interface & routes them to interface connected to destination network if available.
We know that a router is a layer 3 device means Network Layer. Router is a only device that can forward only uni cast massage. If u configure the router well and connect the two separate network, i think the network will go finely.
Network Layer - Does path determination and logical addressing.
Perhaps you mean a router?
The network address
A router
routable
Physical layer = Hub, NIC, Repeater. Data Link Layer = Switch, Bridge. Network Layer = Router.
Routers works in the network layer of the OSI model and choose the best ,shortest and optimized path to route the packets received from data link layer and requested by transport layer. BY Naghma
