Edge Router Definition: - A term used in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks, an edge router is a device that routes data packets between one or more local area networks (LANs) and an ATM backbone network, whether a campus network or a wide area network (WAN). An edge router is an example of an edge device and is sometimes referred to as a boundary router. An edge router is sometimes contrasted with a core router, which forwards packets to computer hosts within a network (but not between networks). Core Router: - A core router is a router that forwards packets to computer hosts within a network (but not between networks). A core router is sometimes contrasted with an edge router, which routes packets between a self-contained network and other outside networks along a network backbone. Can we get a consensus definition on these definition's and what hardware vender's make edge routers and what hardware vender's make core routers. I think this will make us all, have the same understanding. -henry ________________________________ From: Paul WALL <pauldotwall () gmail com> To: Dennis Burgess <dmburgess () linktechs net> Cc: nanog () nanog org Sent: Thu, July 15, 2010 5:28:44 PM Subject: Re: Vyatta as a BRAS On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 1:22 PM, Dennis Burgess <dmburgess () linktechs net> wrote:
RouterOS is a software based router, we have them all over the world as CORE and EDGE routers to networks.
You keep using that word ("CORE"). I do not think it means what you think it means. Drive Slow, DoS Slower, Paul Wall
