Can the router act as a virtual host? In view of this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and answers in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and feasible way.

No, a router (Router) is a device that connects local area networks and wide area networks in the Internet, and its use has nothing to do with virtual hosts.

About Router

Routers, also known as gateway devices (Gateway), are used to connect multiple logically separate networks, which represent a single network or a subnet. When data is transferred from one subnet to another, it can be done through the routing function of the router. Therefore, the router has the function of determining the network address and selecting the IP path.

The router only accepts information from the origin server or other routers, which is an interconnected device in the network layer. The router is the hub of the Internet, which automatically selects and sets the route according to the situation of the channel, and sends the signal in the order of the best path.

About Virtual Host

Virtual host refers to the network server, the use of virtualization technology, a lot of disk space, each small space is a virtual host. A virtual host is also called "website space", which divides a physical server running on the Internet into multiple "virtual" servers.

The server is the device that provides computing services. The service request needs to be responded to and processed, so generally speaking, the server has the ability to undertake and guarantee the service. The composition of the server includes processor, hard disk, memory, system bus and so on, which is similar to the general computer architecture, but because of the need to provide high and reliable services, therefore, it requires high processing capacity, stability, reliability, security, scalability, manageability and so on.

The answer to the question about whether a router can act as a virtual host is shared here. I hope the above content can be of some help to you. If you still have a lot of doubts to be solved, you can follow the industry information channel to learn more about it.
