Enterprise Routers

Enterprise routers can be used to give small offices the ability to securely transfer data between networks. In the past, the majority of one-floor businesses on a local area network (LAN) used an internet service provider’s network to receive and forward data packets. As we have come to learn time and time again, the Internet is not secure. An enterprise router allows you to connect a private LAN to a much larger, public WAN (wide area network) without the fear that transfers will be violated from the outside.

IP Routers

Internet protocol (IP) routing is a dynamic process as opposed to a static one. This means that the routes upon which data packets are transferred must be calculated automatically at regular intervals by software in routing devices. An IP router allows the packets to travel through interconnected networks one hop at a time. This means that at each stop along the way, a packet’s next destination is calculated until it reaches its final destination.

Serial Routers

Serial routers can refer to routers that transfer data between networks one bit at a time. They can be used to link multiple local area networks or wide area networks, determining the best path that information should take between them. Routers also give you the ability to connect a local area network to the network of an internet service provider. Serial data transference represents the opposite of a system that utilizes parallel data transfer, as parallel systems can transfer and take on several bits of data concurrently.
