  2. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Some switches can also forward data at the network layer (layer 3) by additionally incorporating routing functionality. Such switches are commonly known as layer-3 switches or multilayer switches.

  3. Switched fabric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_fabric

    Switched fabric or switching fabric is a network topology in which network nodes interconnect via one or more network switches (particularly crossbar switches).Because a switched fabric network spreads network traffic across multiple physical links, it yields higher total throughput than broadcast networks, such as the early 10BASE5 version of Ethernet and most wireless networks such as Wi-Fi.

  4. Multilayer switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilayer_switch

    Multilayer switch. A multilayer switch (MLS) is a computer networking device that switches on OSI layer 2 like an ordinary network switch and provides extra functions on higher OSI layers. The MLS was invented [1] by engineers at Digital Equipment Corporation .

  5. Ethernet crossover cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable

    Ethernet crossover cable. An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly. It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type, e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers) or two switches to each other. By contrast, straight through patch cables are ...

  6. Optical transport network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transport_network

    An optical transport network ( OTN) is a digital wrapper that encapsulates frames of data, to allow multiple data sources to be sent on the same channel. This creates an optical virtual private network for each client signal. ITU-T defines an optical transport network as a set of optical network elements (ONE) connected by optical fiber links ...

  7. Network bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_bridge

    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. Routing allows multiple networks to communicate independently and yet remain separate, whereas bridging connects two ...
