Well, they are two different pieces of equipment that do two different things....Routers take traffic from multiple layer 3 networks, allowing comunication between them. MUX's and DEMUX's take multiple layer 2 segments and combine them to form one.
now, aside from that, there are vendors that sell "mux's" that route traffic... such as http://www.tiaranetworks.com These are routers in every sense of the word that can also aggregate bandwidth through multiple serial connections. hth, -Patrick >>> 03/14/02 01:00PM >>> what's the simlar and different , when to use mux and when to use router.?
