Would this be better in Wiki-dictionary? The only way I can see to expand the article is to get very techy and wiki is not meant to be a tech manual.205.157.110.11 22:17, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to know why packets should be routed in some cases and forwarded in other cases. Either a discussion of that or a link to such a discussion would be helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.190.134.148 (talk) 01:02, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~sidie/cs352/notes/6-routing.pdf explains routing and forwarding pretty well. The "(by a bomb?)" part under 'Military Applications' made me laugh. (More likely power loss by unreliable generators would cause a router to go down in the field. Bombs get blamed for everything don't they? :P) Also found definitions at http://www.soi.wide.ad.jp/class/20010021/slides/02/22.html --->

Forwarding

   * A datagram is forwarded to an appropriate next-hop intermediate node (router).

Routing

   * A datagram is eventually delivered from its source to destination as a result of repeated forwarding.

'Auto-forwarding' or Bridging vs. Routing: http://www.ibh.de/netglossary/net_02.htm

I don't work a lot with bridging and have never user or heard of the word 'brouter' before today... (Mostly EIGRP on large networks, all Cisco stuff in my experience.) Although I agree that this sounds like it should be in Wiki-dictionary. I don't see how this could be justified to have it's own page, since it seems a little obscure and I don't think there is enough information regarding 'brouters' unless you get into technical mumbo jumbo as said previously. Apparently it's not that important to running a network these days since I've gone this long without knowing about it... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueberrymaiden (talk • contribs) 23:16, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bridge Router → Bridge router – I don't believe this is a proper name, so it should be bridge router, not Bridge Router, per MOS:CAPS, e.g.[1] —Wbm1058 (talk) 14:09, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Manufacturers[edit]

This sounds like something I could use on my network. Who manufactures brouters? Rsduhamel (talk) 23:55, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
