You need to connect two different data link technology: Ethernet network with an older Token Ring Network. Both networks are using the TCP/IP protocol suites. Most traffic will be localized within each network, with only a little traffic crossing between networks. Which connectivity device would be the best choice in this situation?

Router

Explanation:

A router is a networking device that is used to forward data packets within a network. It performs the routing function by finding the best path and routing data traffic to the next point on the network.

Advantages of Router In Network

1. Routers provide more features, such as flow control, error detection, and congestion control, than switches or bridges

2. Routers provide multiple links between devices to support load balancing

3. Routers support multiple routing protocols for better flexibility

Router

Explanation:

A router is a layer3 device specifically used in interconnecting devices, one of its main functions is to direct packets of data which are sent through the internet using IP addresses.

There are different types of routers based on their use, Home or office routers are less sophisticated which forwards IP address of a hom not officer computer device and the internet.

Sophisticated routers which are mainly used to forward IP address and packets of data in large business internet systems through optical fibre lines.
