  2. Bridge router - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_Router

    Bridge router. A bridge router or brouter [1] is a network device that works as a bridge and as a router. The brouter routes packets for known protocols and simply forwards all other packets as a bridge would. [2] Brouters operate at both the network layer for routable protocols and at the data link layer for non-routable protocols. As networks ...

  3. Network bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_bridge

    Network bridge. A high-level overview of network bridging, using the ISO/OSI layers and terminology. A network bridge is a computer networking device that creates a single, aggregate network from multiple communication networks or network segments. This function is called network bridging. [1] Bridging is distinct from routing.

  4. Routing bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_Bridge

    Routing bridge. A routing bridge or RBridge, also known as a TRILL switch, is a network device that implements the TRILL protocol, as specified by the IETF [1] and should not be confused with BRouters (Bridging Routers). RBridges are compatible with previous IEEE 802.1 customer bridges as well as IPv4 and IPv6 routers and end nodes.

  5. Spanning Tree Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_Tree_Protocol

    The Spanning Tree Protocol ( STP) is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. Spanning tree also allows a network design to include backup links providing fault tolerance if an active link fails.

  6. Router (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_(computing)

    Router (computing) Rack containing a service-provider–class router connected to multiple networks. A router [a] is a computer and networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks, including internetworks such as the global Internet. [2] [3] [4] A router is connected to two or more data lines from different IP networks.

  7. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, and, by the IEEE, MAC bridge [1]) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device. A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data at the data link ...
