Christian,
I
*guess* you're joking, but... May I then suggest you to use smileys :-) to
avoid confusion...
;o)
Actually, the name is
“brouteur”, from the French verb “brouter”, to browse – the herbivore action
of eating grass, not the web variation. A “broute[u]r” is a device that is
peacefully munching at your data, like a cow in a pasture.

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.

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.
