Question

    Which of the following is used to direct and dispatch

    data packets between different networks?
    A Gateway Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Hub Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Connection Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Router Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Bridge Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A router is used to route data packets between different networks. It reads the information in each packet to tell where it is going. If it is destined for an immediate network it has access to, it will strip the outer packet (IP packet for example), readdress the packet to the proper Ethernet address, and transmit it on that network.
