Brouter was bad enough. Then, when Synoptics and Cisco were contemplating a merger of Synoptics hubs and Cisco routers, the term (see the little green Cisco glossary) was Rub and Rubsystem. Later, when Cisco came out with combined hubs and routers, the official term was hublet. When I asked one of my classes if anyone knew the new term, someone replied "houter?" (use American pronunciation).
