Brouter (Bridge/Router) Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. A brouter is a hybrid device that merges bridging and routing technology. Basically, a brouter is a bridge that can bridge multiple protocols and provide routing for some of those protocols. In this sense, a brouter is a device that forwards packets between networks at the network layer and the data link layer in the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) protocol stack. See "Bridges and Bridging" and "Routing." Copyright (c) 2001 Tom Sheldon and Big Sur Multimedia.
