Edge Router Definition:
- A term used in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks, an edge router is a
device that routes data packets between one or more local area networks (LANs)
and an ATM backbone network, whether a campus network or a wide area network
(WAN). An edge router is an example of an edge device and is sometimes
referred to as a boundary router. An edge router is sometimes contrasted with
a core router, which forwards packets to computer hosts within a network (but
not between networks).
Core Router:
- A core router is a router that forwards packets to computer hosts within a
network (but not between networks). A core router is sometimes contrasted with
an edge router, which routes packets between a self-contained network and other
outside networks along a network backbone.
Can we get a consensus definition on these definition's and what hardware
vender's make edge routers and what hardware vender's make core routers.
I think this will make us all, have the same understanding.

You keep using that word ("CORE"). I do not think it means what you
think it means.
