A router is a computer with hardware and software that are usually designed to task routing and forwarding, generally having a specialized operating system, RAM (Random Access Memory), NVRAM, flash memory, and one or more different kinds of processors. Many telephone companies will allow you to buy just some of these individual channels, known as fractional T-1 access. A T1 connection is established by providing a loop or wire from the user premises to the CO where the service provider has equipment. Part of the cost of a T1 is the loop charge or the monthly rental fee for the wire that is rented from the local phone company.
