Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

Answer options

• A. Routers organize addresses into classes, which are used to determine how to move packets from one network to another.
• B. Routers are responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or Internet) traffic will follow.
• C. Routers do not limit physical broadcast traffic.
• D. Routers act as protocol translators and bind dissimilar networks.

Correct answer: A, B, D
