Network switch
Switches exist for various types of networks including
Fibre Channel,
Asynchronous Transfer Mode,
InfiniBand,
Ethernet and others. The first Ethernet switch was introduced by
Kalpana in 1990.
[1]A
network switch or
switching hub is a
computer networking device that links
network segments or
network devices. The term commonly refers to a multi-port
network bridge that processes and routes data at the
data link layer (layer 2) of the
OSI model. Switches that additionally process data at the
network layer (layer 3) and above are often called
layer-3 switches or
multilayer switches.

A
router is a device that forwards
data packets between
computer networks, creating an overlay
internetwork.
A router is connected to two or more data lines from different
networks. When a data packet comes in one of the lines, the router reads
the address information in the packet to determine its ultimate
destination. Then, using information in its

routing policy, it directs the packet to the next network on its journey. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the
Internet.
A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another through
the networks that constitute the internetwork until it reaches its
destination node.
