Here is a most outstanding resource...I offer it up as a gift: techweb.com :*) Ok, in simple language, a router is used to interconnect different parts of a communications network (including the internet). In addition to interconnection, a router can (and does) some translation. Also, a router can restrict access through it. Yes, Cisco is the leading manufacturer of routers. Other companies (COMS, LVLT, JNPR, etc.) have limited exposure to the market. The data passing through a router can be any digitized signal...voice, video, or data...the router doesn't care, as long as it's digital. -Joe
