CONNECTING DEVICES

Connecting devices

Repeater

A repeater connects segments of a LAN together.

A repeater forwards every packet; it has no filtering capability.

Hubs

A bridge has a table used in filtering decisions.

Bridge

A bridge connects segments of a LAN together.

A router is a three-layer (physical, data link, and network) device.

A repeater or a bridge connects segments of a LAN. A router connects independent LANs or WANs to create an internetwork (internet).

Routing example

A router changes the physical addresses in a packet.
