Router


Definition:

  • (n.) A plane made like a spokeshave, for working the inside edges of circular sashes.
  • (n.) A plane with a hooked tool protruding far below the sole, for smoothing the bottom of a cavity.

  • (7) The lawsuit challenges the “suspicionless seizure and searching of internet traffic” by the NSA in the US that it says is done by “tapping directly into the internet backbone inside the United States – the network of high-capacity cables, switches, and routers that today carry vast numbers of Americans’ communications with each other and with the rest of the world.” The NSA’s so-called “Upstream” surveillance scheme – first revealed by the Guardian and the Washington Post – is designed to capture communications with “non-US persons” to acquire foreign intelligence information.
  • (8) Freedom Hosting hosted sites on the The Onion Router (Tor) network, which anonymises and encrypts traffic, masking the identity of users.
