Hub

4/ 25

Repeater

Extend the physical length

No network function has been changed
Location is matter
5/ 25

Function of repeater

Repeater is not exactly as same as Amplifier

6/ 25

Hub

Actually is a multiport repeater

Star / Tree Topology
7/ 25

Bridge

8/ 25

Bridge

Divide a large network into smaller

segment
Isolating and controlling the link
problems (e.g. congestion)
Regenerate signal + Checking Physical
Address and forward only to the
specified segment
9/ 25

Function of a bridge

10/ 25

Multiport bridge

11/ 25

Routers

12/ 25

Routers in an internet

13/ 25

Routers

Act like stations on a network

Multi-home
Definition (Goal)

Learning how to get from here to there."

Process of discovering, selecting, and
employing paths from one place to another
(or to many others) in a network

Routing Principle

Goal: Arriving at the destination

Considerations:

Direct route (shortest)

Reliable route
Cheap route
Safe route
Scenic route
15/ 25

Gateways (protocol converter)

16/ 25

A gateway

SNA network (IBM)

Netware network (Novell)

Routing switches

19/ 25

switches

a very fast, low-latency, multi-port

bridge that is used to segment LANs
typically used to increase
communication rates between segments
with multiple parallel conversation and
also communication between different
networking technologies (such as
between ATM and 100Base-TX)

Single VS. Multiprotocol router

21/ 25

Brouter

22/ 25

Backbone Network
Bus Backbone

Star Backbone

23/ 25

Connecting Remote LAN

A point-to-point link acts

as a LAN in a remote
backbone connected by
remote bridges
24/ 25

Virtual LAN (VLAN)

VLANs create broadcast domains

25/ 25

VLAN with backbone switch
