No, routers are not endpoints.
Endpoints are devices that initiate or terminate communication in a network, such as computers, servers, printers, and mobile devices. They are typically located at the edge of a network and are responsible for generating or receiving data traffic.
Routers, on the other hand, are devices that forward data packets between different networks or subnets. They are typically located at the boundary of different network segments and are responsible for routing traffic between them.
While routers can act as sources or destinations of traffic in certain scenarios, such as when configuring router-to-router VPN connections or using management protocols to access and configure the router, they are not considered endpoints in the same sense as devices like computers and mobile devices.
Overall, routers play a critical role in enabling communication between different network segments and facilitating the flow of data traffic across a network, but they are not considered endpoints in the traditional sense of the term.
