A router is a device that forwards data packets between computer networks, creating an overlay internetwork. It 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 and forwards it along the most appropriate data line.
A bridge is a device that connects two local area networks (LANs) together. It filters data traffic between the two networks, preventing outbound traffic from one network from entering the other network. Bridges are typically used to allow multiple devices on both networks to communicate with each other.
