Device which are on the network and the traffic is passing thru it.
The purpose of a router is to connect dissimilar networks.

A serverThe device that manages trafic between two networks is a router.
A router is a device that routes all traffic to and from your network. A router functions by forwarding packets of data between computer networks.
generally ROUTERS are supposed to be the cop device for the networks. for more details read LEON-GARCIA.
A router acts as a gateway that allows hosts to send traffic to remote IP networks. It routes data packets between different networks, determining the best path for the data to reach its destination. By connecting local networks to the internet or other remote networks, routers facilitate communication and data exchange across diverse systems.
Most of the time you use a router between two networks. You can also use a bridge but bridges are most likely software based. Routers are hardware based or "appliances".
A router is the device that connects networks with differing addressing schemes, packet sizes, and interfaces. It operates at the network layer of the OSI model and is responsible for forwarding data packets between networks by determining the best path for data transmission. Routers can manage traffic between different types of networks, such as local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs), ensuring efficient communication across diverse systems.

This device is called a ROUTER. Routers are by default configured to not pass the broadcast traffic to another networks to which it connects. But by some means it could be also a SWITCH - sometimes it can be configured to filter different type of network traffic.
The device that filters data traffic at a network boundary is commonly known as a firewall. Firewalls monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic and enforce security policies by allowing or blocking specific data packets based on predetermined rules. They can be hardware-based, software-based, or a combination of both, and are essential for protecting networks from unauthorized access and cyber threats.
