Internetworking Devices
Network Interface Card (NIC) Repeaters HUB Bridge Switch Router

NIC
Usually PCI Card Plugs into Motherboard
Separately designed for Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI etc
Communicate with network through Serial Connection
Communicate with System with Parallel Connection
Have embedded MAC/Physical Address on a chip

NIC Functionality
Performs most of Layer Two functions LLC (Logical Link Control)
Interface with upper layers MAC (Medium Access Control)
Shared access to medium Framing
Packages Frames Signaling
Create Bits/Signals for transmission over Medium Error Detection
New NICs have built-in Error Detection Facility

Repeaters
It boosts the signal so that it could travel a longer cable length
Works at layer One (Physical Layer) Advantage
Extend cable length Disadvantage
Also propagate the noise

HUB
Connects multiple nodes in a single network segment
Works at Layer One (Physical Layer)
Broadcasting Device Multi-port Repeater Detects and troubleshoots
collisions Became Obsolete

Bridge
Used for Network Segmentation at Layer two Segmentation
Dividing a big network into parts Advantage
Less Collisions More Bandwidth
Makes MAC table Intelligence Device (Make Decisions)

Switch
Similar to HUB but is an intelligent device
Forwards Packets based upon their destination address
Increase bandwidth A switch gives any device on
the network the full bandwidth instead of sharing the available bandwidth. Intelligence ensures only
destination receives the data, at maximum bandwidth.
Decrease collisions Direct Connection between
multiple hosts

Switch
Also known as Multi-port Bridge Store & Forward Device
Store & Forward Vs Cut through MAC Table Typically works on Layer 2 Layer 3 Switches are also available Advance Switches are manageable
MAC Filtering SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) VLAN Setting

Router
A router is a device that forwards data packets from one network to another.
Routers read the network address in order to route data via the optimum path. Data packets which are addressed to a device at the same
site of the router will not be let through. Convert data structure from one media to another,
for example Ethernet <=> ISDN. Routers can interconnect all networks in the
enterprise. For example two different networks like a LAN and the
Internet

Router
Also Performs Segmentation Layer 3 Segmentation based upon IP (logical
address) Performs switching as switch Best Path Selection based upon Network
address Encapsulation/De-encapsulation of Packet Routing Table

Gateway
Some times router may be used as a Gateway Gateway is an essential functionality provided by router
It is a node that serve as entrance to another network and vice versa
Normally used between private networks and internet
Any packet whose address doesn’t belong to current network is forwarded to gateway
Gateway may/may not perform NAT
