Last night i was searching for OSI reference model on google and suddenly i saw a word BROUTER which works on Layer-3 (Network Layer, i never heared about this before so i did search on google and find out that Brouter is combiantion of Bidge and Router, Brouter is a device which attempts to deliver packets based on network protocol information, but if a particular Network layer protocol isn’t supported, the brouter bridges the packet using device addresses (MAC address).
