Glossary
Routing
Routing is the transfer of data packets to another subscriber in your network. On their way
to the recipient, the data packets are sent from one router to the next until they reach their
destination.
If data packets were not forwarded in this way, a network like the Internet would not be
possible. Routing connects the individual networks to this global system.
A router is a part of this system; it transfers data packets both within a local network and
from one network to the next. Transfer of data from one network to another is performed
on the basis of a common protocol.
