2: Defining the OSI Layers and Devices

Description Device or OSI


Layer

This device sends and receives information about the Network layer. Router
This layer creates a virtual circuit before transmitting Transport
between two end stations.
This device uses hardware addresses to filter a network. Bridge or switch
Ethernet is defined at these layers. Data Link and Physical
This layer supports flow control, sequencing, and acknowledgments. Transport
This device can measure the distance to a remote network. Router
Logical addressing is used at this layer. Network
Hardware addresses are defined at this layer. Data Link (MAC sublayer)
This device creates one big collision domain and one large Hub
broadcast domain.
This device creates many smaller collision domains, but the Switch or bridge
network is still one large broadcast domain.
This device can never run full-duplex. Hub
This device breaks up collision domains and broadcast
domains. Router
