COMMON BASIC NETWORK DEVICES:
• Gateway: device sitting at a network node for interfacing with another network that uses different protocols. Works on OSI layers 4 to 7.
• Router: aspecialized network device that determines the next network point to which to forward a data packet toward its destination. Unlike a gateway, it cannot interface different protocols. Works on OSI layer 3.• Bridge: a device that connects multiple network segments along the data link layer. Works on OSI layer 2.
• Switch: a device that allocates traffic from one network segment to certain lines(intended destination(s)) which connect the segment to another network segment. So unlike a hub a switch splits the network traffic and sends it to different destinations rather than to all systems onthe network. Works on OSI layer 2.
• Hub: connects multiple Ethernet segments together making them act as a single segment. When using a hub, every attached device shares the same broadcastdomain and the same collision domain. Therefore, only one computer connected to the hub is able to transmit at a time. Depending on the network topology, the hub provides a basic level 1 OSI modelconnection among the network objects (workstations, servers, etc). It provides bandwidth which is shared among all the objects, compared to switches, which provide a dedicated connection between individualnodes. Works on OSI layer 1.
• Repeater: device to amplify or regenerate digital signals received while setting them from one part of a network into another. Works on OSI layer 1.
Some hybridnetwork devices:
• Multilayer Switch: a switch which, in addition to switching on OSI layer 2, provides functionality at higher protocol layers.
• Protocol Converter: a hardware device thatconverts between two different types of transmissions, such as asynchronous and synchronous transmissions.
• Bridge Router(Brouter}: Combine router and bridge functionality and are therefore...
