BACnet routing is a method used to enable communication between BACnet devices that are located on different networks or subnetworks, as in the standard IP networks.
The role of BACnet routing is to provide a means for devices to discover and communicate with each other across different IP networks or subnetworks. The BACnet router transmits messages between BACnet networks. It might connect a BACnet/IP system to an MS/TP system or any other mixed network, which is important due to different wiring and network packets.
So, a router might change the packaging of the message but, as the BACnet website explains, the “form or content of the message” doesn’t change. With a router, different BACnet devices can communicate with one another between networks, sending Who-Is and I-Am messages.
