# Routers

Routers provide L3 services such as routing and Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) between Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network and public (WAN) networks, or different Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks:

* A Router between Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network and public network provides access to public networks, such as the Internet, for VMs connected to this virtual network.<br>
* A virtual router between different Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks provides communication for VMs connected to these Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networks.

With virtual routers, you can do the following:

* Create virtual routers
* Change external or internal router interfaces
* Create, edit, and delete static routes
* Change a router name
* Delete a router

## Plans and Pricing

Routers are free.

## Regional Availability

Routers are available in all regions. They are region-specific resources and can only be assigned within the same region.

## Limitations

* At the moment only IPv4 is supported.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://doc.cloudbit.ch/products/compute/networking/routers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
