As I see it,
An access router is one the remote client would use to enter a larger network.
Usually 700, 800, 2500, 2600, 3600, 4000, 5300 series type routers. These would be
used to connect client LAN's, Dialup's etc to the net.
A distribution router more in the line of 7200's would be used to connect between the
core routers and access router. These may provide access-lists and that sort of stuff
to avoid unnecessary traffic going down the lower speed links to the access servers.
A core router is a big thumper used to move high levels of data from place to place.
The backbone of the network.
Using an hierarchical setup allows one to localise traffic that is not really required
to traverse the backbone.
