What are the basic types of routers?

According to the performance level, it is divided into high, medium and low grade routers.

1. Generally speaking, a router with a throughput greater than 40Gbps is called a high-end router.

2. Routers with reverse throughput between 25 Gbps and 40 Gbps are called mid-range routers.

3. Take the router below 25Gbps as the low-end router.

Of course, this is only a macro division standard, and the division of manufacturers is not completely consistent.

Other classifications of routers

1. Functionally, it can be divided into backbone router, enterprise router and access router. The data throughput of backbone routers is large and important, which is the key to enterprise network interconnection. Backbone routers require high speed and high reliability. Network usually adopts technologies such as hot backup, dual power supply and dual data path to ensure its reliability. The enterprise router connects multiple terminal systems, which is simple and has less data flow.

2. Structurally, it can be divided into modular and non-modular routers. Modular router can realize the flexible configuration of router and adapt to the business needs of enterprises; A non-modular router can only provide a fixed single port.
