Requirements for IP Version 4 Routers RFC ( Request for Comments ) 1812, June 1995. This document is an updated version of RFC 1716, the historical Router Requirements document. IP routers or simply routers are the devices that perform the network layer forwarding function of the Internet protocol suite. The OSI ( Open Systems Interconnection ) community refers to such devices as intermediate systems. Many older internet documents refer to these devices as gateways, a name which more recently has largely passed out of favor to avoid confusion with application gateways. This document enumerates standard protocols that a router connected to the Internet must use, and it incorporates by reference the RFCs and other documents describing the current specifications for these protocols. Internet hosts and routers must both be capable of originating IP datagrams and receiving IP datagrams destined for them. The major distinction between Internet hosts and routers is that routers implement forwarding algorithms, while Internet hosts do not require forwarding capabilities.
