Edge device

In computer networking, an edge device is a device that provides an entry point into enterprise or service provider core networks.^[1] Examples include routers,^[2] routing switches, integrated access devices (IADs), multiplexers, and a variety of metropolitan area network (MAN) and wide area network (WAN) access devices. Edge devices also provide connections into carrier and service provider networks. An edge device that connects a local area network to a high speed switch or backbone (such as an ATM switch) may be called an edge concentrator.^[3]
