Information on IEEE 802.3 Router

An IEEE 802.3 Router is a network layer (Layer 3) device that interconnects two Ethernet local area networks (LANs). Routers operate at the network layer and therefore can interconnect local area networks of the different types (for example, an Ethernet LAN to a token ring LAN). A router can only connect two networks using the same network-layer protocol. Routers form the basis of routing in the Internet.
