Route

Routing information is passed from the source to the destination through the network behavior, at least in the propagation path through an intermediate node.
Routing is usually to compare with the bridge, in the careless person, that they seem to done the same thing. The main difference is that bridging occurs in the second layer of OSI reference model (data link layer), and routing in the third layer (network layer). The difference between the two in the process of transmission of information using different information to different ways to accomplish their tasks.
Route has long been the subject appears in the computer industry, but until the mid-eighties a commercial success. The main reason is the network of the seventies in general is very simple to the later development of large-scale network to be more common.
