Router Switch Hub Bridge

The document discusses different network devices including hubs, switches, routers, gateways, and bridges. It provides details on each device such as what layer of the OSI model they operate on, their functions for transmitting data, and how they differ from each other. For example, it states that a hub is a broadcast device that works at the physical layer, a switch is a multicast device that works at the data link layer, and a router connects different networks and works at the network layer.

3 Different Network Devices

OSI Model
HUB

• Hub is a simple and cheap networking broadcast


device.
• Works under physical layer of OSI model that
connects bunch of computers together in a
network.
• But does lots of wastage of bandwidth.
HUB
SWITCH

• Switch is a multicast networking device.


• It works under datalink layer of OSI model.
• It connects bunch of computers or devices in a
network.
Difference between switch & Hub

• HUB is a broadcast device which sends data


from once PC to all.
• SWITCH is a multicast device which can send
data to a particular PC you want.
SWITCH
ROUTER

• Router is a networking device works under network


layer of OSI model and use to connect two or more
different networks.
Difference between HUB, SWITCH & Router

• HUB and SWITCH are networking device use to


connect PC or any devices on the same network.
• ROUTER is a device use to connect two or more
different network.

Gateway

 A gateway is a network node that connects two


networks using different protocols together.
 It also acts a “gate” between two networks. It may
be a router, firewall. Server or other devices that
enables traffic to flow in and out of the network.
 Router can communicate between two different
network using the same protocol on the other hand
using different protocols together.
 Gateway is also called protocol
ROUTER GATEWAY

BRIDGE

 Bridge is a networking device which is use to divide


a LAN into multiple segment
 “A bridge is a network device that connects multiple
subnetworks to create a single network. It provides
interconnection with other computer networks that
use the same protocol.“
