Editing Router (computing) (section)

=== Routing different networks ===
Routers are also often distinguished on the basis of the network in which they operate. A router in a [[local area network]] (LAN) of a single organization is called an ''interior router''. A router that is operated in the [[Internet]] backbone is described as ''exterior router''. While a router that connects a LAN with the Internet or a [[wide area network]] (WAN) is called a ''border router'', or ''[[gateway router]]''.<ref>{{Cite book|title= Network+ Guide to Networks|author =Tamara Dean |publisher= Cengage Learning|year=2009 |isbn=  9781423902454|pages=272}}</ref>
