Router
Routers are networking devices operating at layer 3 (network layer) of the OSI model.
They are responsible for receiving, analyzing, and forwarding data packets among the
connected computer networks. When a data packet arrives, the router inspects the
destination address, consults its routing tables to decide the optimal route and then
transfers the packet along this route.
A router can be used both in LANs (Local Area Networks) and WANs (Wide Area
Networks).
•Routers are more expensive than other networking devices like hubs,bridges and
switches.
Routers are manufactured by some popular
companies like −
• Cisco
• D-Link
• HP
• 3Com
• Juniper
• Nortel
Bridges
Bridges are used to connect two subnetworks that use interchangeable
protocols. It combines two LANs to form an extended LAN.
Repeaters
Repeaters are network devices operating at physical layer of the OSI model that amplify
or regenerate an incoming signal before retransmitting it. They are incorporated in
networks to expand its coverage area. They are also known as signal boosters.
Advantages of Repeaters
•Repeaters are simple to install and can easily extend the length or the coverage area of
networks. They are cost effective.
•They can connect signals using different types of cables.
Disadvantages of Repeaters
•Repeaters cannot connect dissimilar networks.
•They cannot differentiate between actual signal and noise.
Gateways
•Gateway is located at the boundary of a network and manages all data that inflows or
outflows from that network.
•It forms a passage between two different networks operating with different
transmission protocols.
•A gateway operates as a protocol converter, providing compatibility between the
different protocols used in the two different networks.
•The feature that differentiates a gateway from other network devices is that it can
operate at any layer of the OSI model.
•It also stores information about the routing paths of the communicating networks.
•It uses packet switching technique to transmit data across the networks.
Requirements of Internetworking
Provide a link between networks. At minimum, a physical and link
control connection is needed.
