Functions of network devices
 Separating (connecting) networks or expanding network
 e.g. repeaters, hubs, bridges, routers, brouters, switches,
gateways
 Remote access
 e.g. 56K Modems and ADSL modems
2
A. Expanding Network
Networks cannot be made larger by simply adding new computers
and more cables
Less efficient !!
Can install components to
segment (divide) large LAN to form smaller LANs
connect LANs
Required components
Repeaters, bridges, routers, brouters, switches or gateways
3
Limitations and Features
 Cannot link unlike segments
 Cannot join segments with different access methods (e.g. CSMA/CD and token
passing)
 Do not isolate and filter packets
• Can connect different types of
media
• The most economic way of
expanding networks
4
Bridges
• Has one input and one output
• Used to isolate network traffic and computers
• Has the intelligent to examine incoming packet
source and destination addresses
• But cannot
interpret higher-
level information
• Hence cannot
filter packet
according to its
protocol
5
How Bridges Work
• Bridges work at the Media Access Control Sub-
layer of the OSI model
• Routing table is built
to record the segment
no. of address
• If destination address
is in the same segment
as the source address,
stop transmit
• Otherwise, forward to
the other segment
6
Switches
Cisco Catalyst 2900 switch
• Switches operate at the Data Link layer (layer 2)
of the OSI model
• Can interpret address information
• Switches resemble bridges and can be considered
as multiport bridges
• By having multiports,
can better use limited
bandwidth and prove
more cost-effective
than bridge
7
Advantages of Switches
• Switches divide a network into several isolated
channels (or collision domains)
• Reduce the possibility of collision
• Collision only occurs when two devices try to get access
to one channel
• Can be solved by buffering one of them for later access
• Each channel has its own network capacity
• Suitable for real-time applications, e.g. video
conferencing
• Since isolated, hence secure
• Data will only go to the destination, but not others
8
Limitations of Switches
• Although contains buffers to accommodate bursts of
traffic, can become overwhelmed by heavy traffic
• Device cannot detect collision when buffer full
• CSMA/CD scheme will not work since the data
channels are isolated, not the case as in Ethernet
• Some higher level protocols do not detect error
• E.g. UDP
• Those data packets are continuously pumped to
the switch and introduce more problems
9
Routers
• Layer 2 Switches cannot take advantage of multiple
paths
• Routers work at the OSI layer 3 (network layer)
• They use the
“logical address”
of packets and
routing tables to
determine the best
path for data
delivery
10
How Routers Work
• As packets are passed from routers to routers, Data
Link layer source and destination addresses are
stripped off and then recreated
• Enables a router to route a packet from a TCP/IP
Ethernet network to a TCP/IP token ring network
• Only packets with known network addresses will be
passed - hence reduce traffic
• Routers can listen to a network and identify its
busiest part
• Will select the most cost effective path for
transmitting packets
11
• Allow computers to
communicate over a
telephone line
• Enable communication
between networks or
connecting to the world
beyond the LAN
B. Remote Access Devices
1. Modems
12
2. ADSL
• ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber
Line
• Particularly suitable for high speed multimedia
communications, general Internet applications
• Asymmetric - downstream 1.5 to 6.1Mbps
upstream 16 to 640kbps
• Digital - mainly for transmitting digital data
still require modulation and demodulation
• Subscriber line - make use of the analog connection
between household and CO
