RE: router types

[Ed Mier]

BROUTER = combined bridge and router.  It was common a few years ago, when multiple concurrent protocol stacks were running over an enterprise data network (not then an Intranet), to route some protocols (IP, IPX, DECnet, etc.) and bridge others (Netbeui/Netbios, etc.).  Today almost everything's running over or tunneled in IP.   ed mier -----Original Message----- From: Bill Cunningham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 8:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: router types I was wondering if anyone out there knows the difference in a router and brouter. I know what a router is but a brouter must be new.
