High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Fuzzball routers were the first modern routers on the Internet. They were DEC LSI-11 computers loaded with router software written by David L. Mills (of the University of Delaware). The name "Fuzzball" was the colloquialism for Mills' routing software. About fifty of them were deployed worldwide in the early 1980s on the first 56kb/sec NSFnet to test many of the Internet's first protocols. A few are still active on the internet today. A router is a device that interconnects two or more computer networks, and selectively interchanges packets of data between them. Each data packet contains address information that a router can use to determine if the source and destination are on the same network, or if the data packet must be transferred from one network to another.
