Hub/Repeater

  • Attempt to forward all Frames
  • Error Frames will be forwarded
  • A hub regenerates signals; it does not an amplifier

A B C D

D D D D

A sends a frame to D

hub

The frame is repeated out all the other ports

Hub characteristics

  • All devices connected to hub :

share the same collision domain share the same broadcast domain

A B C D

hub

collision domain, broadcast domain

Hubs create a single collision domain and a broadcast domain

Bridge characteristics

All devices connected to bridges share the same broadcast

domain

Networks are segmented; each segment is its own collision

B-to-A Station A transmits to Station C. The bridge starts building its bridging table and forward the packet. Station D transmits to Station A. The bridge forward the packet and continues building its table. Station B transmits to Station A, the bridge does not forward the frame, since A also resides on port 1

Loop in Bridge

The learning bridge concept works for any tree

(loop free) topology

Packet is infinite looping!

Loop Avoidance with algorithm

Spanning-tree algorithms disable some interfaces to break the loop

Applied Network Research Group Department of Computer Engineering, Kasetsart University 12/16

Type of bridge

Transparent Bridges

Same Topologies

Translational Bridges

Converts frame types from one topology to another For example, Ethernet to FDDI

Source Route Bridges

Token Ring Only IBM Legacy

Router

  • Network is partitioned in to a small subnetwork
  • Each node has its own

Data Link Layer address (e.g. Ethernet MAC address) Network Layer address (e.g. IP Address)

1.2 1.3 2.2 2.3 1.1 2.1 3.1

network node 1 1,2,3 2 1,2,3 3 1 network 1 network 2

No node inside

Router characteristics

  • Collision domains are isolated
  • Broadcast domains are isolated (do not forward layer 2

broadcast)

  • Error Frames will not be forwarded
