What is a benefit of adding a router within an IP network?

  • increases the size of the local network
  • keeps broadcasts contained within a local network
  • reduces the number of hosts that can connect to the network
  • controls host-to-host traffic within a single local network

Explanation: Routers can divide or segment a network. Because routers do not forward broadcasts they can keep broadcasts isolated to the local network.
