Computer Network - Internetworking Devices


Repeater is basically a re generator as it regenerates the signal.Repeater and Hub are layer 1 devices as they operate at the Physical layer of the OSI model.A multi-port repeater is known as Hub.Hubs are of three types, active hub, passive hub and intelligent hub.Active hub regenerates the signal before passing and Passive hub does not regenerate signal.
Types of bridges are Transparent bridge, Translational bridge and Source-route bridge.Switch uses cut through, store and forward or fragment free method for switching.A router is an intelligent device which functions at the Network layer.Router is capable of connecting many network segments even though the segments are far.Routers are of two types, Static router and Dynamic router.
Routing algorithms are used by the routing protocols to determine the next port to which the packet is to be sent.Routing protocols are of two types, interior and exterior.
 
Gateway is a networking device which converts data format and not actual data.Backbone is a segment that connects other segments.
