Routers are Computers
A router is a computer, just like any other computer including a PC. The very first router, used for the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), was the Interface Message Processor (IMP). The IMP was a Honeywell 316 minicomputer; this computer brought the ARPANET to life on August 30, 1969.
Note: The ARPANET was developed by Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the United States Department of Defense. The ARPANET was the world’s first operational packet switching network and the predecessor of today’s Internet.
Routers have many of the same hardware and software components that are found in other computers including:
CPU
RAM
ROM
Operating System
