Discussion
A _____ is a device that forwards packets between networks by processing the routing information included in the packet.
Answer: C
Correct answer: router
A router forwards packets between different networks by reading the destination address in the network layer header and consulting its routing table for the best path. A bridge works at the data link layer, forwarding frames within one network on MAC addresses, and a firewall filters traffic against a policy rather than choosing routes for it. Only the router makes forwarding decisions from routing information carried in the packet.
