Routers are network devices that forward packets of data between different networks. A router between an organisation's LAN and Janet will not have a direct connection to every other router on the Internet. It is however possible to set up that router to forward packets to their destinations by the most efficient path. The router does this by referring to its routing tables, which list all the possible paths that data can take to get from source to destination IP address. Each router on the path repeats this process until the data reaches its final destination.

Introduction 1. These Terms (as defined in clause 6) apply to the provision by Janet(UK) to the User Organisation of any or all of those networking services which Janet(UK) has agreed to make available as a result of its financial memorandum with the Higher Education Funding Council for England (“HEFCE”) (“the Services”), and apply to any Connection to Janet that a User Organisation has from time to time.

Organisations with a primary connection may directly connect their student accommodation to the campus network to provide access to Janet if they wish.
