Re: "ROUTERS" vs. "routers"

[Havard Eidnes <he@uninett.no>]

Hi,

I'm sure you'll excuse my naivete, but at least to my mind, a box
performing packet forwarding service between different interfaces (be
they logical or physical) to carry traffic where it itself is not an
endpoint, makes a box fall into the general category of "a router".

How it gets it's address(es), or whether it additionally performs NAT
or NAT-PT functions shouldn't make a huge difference with respect to
whether it is characterized as a "host" or a "router".
