Brouter
Now having gone the way of the dinosaur,
the brouter combined layers 2 and 3. In effect it was
a bridging router, hence its name, combining bridge
and router. Like the bridge, it operates at the physical
layer, moving traffic among devices based on their
physical MAC addresses, and like a router, it can forward
network packets, assuming the protocol is routable. The operative
word, was, is used because they are being replaced by the
switch and the router.
