Explanation
A router is a Layer 3 gateway device, meaning that it connects two or more networks and that the router operates at the network layer of the OSI model. not switch: Any switch that provides this 'basic' functionality, operates at the 2nd OSI layer also known as the Datalink Layer. not hub: A network hub, or a repeater, is a simple network device that does not manage any of the traffic coming through it. Any packet entering a port is flooded out or "repeated" on every other port, except for the port of entry.
