    A repeater operates at layer 1 and repeats messages without processing them. It has no ports, network segmentation, or filtering capabilities. A hub operates like a repeater but has multiple ports. A bridge operates at layers 1 and 2. It can filter and forward broadcasts based on MAC addresses, segmenting networks. It introduces latency and the potential for more collisions compared to a repeater.

    Yes yes
    Yes yes

    yes Yes (using access lists)

    Yes Yes (can’t completely


    prevent it.)

    Yes No

    Fast Slow (layer 3


    destination based
    lookup)
    comparatively less Increased (by adding
    increase router or hop)
    increase (hence
    lesser collisions)

    simultaneous packets
    distribution (full
    duplex)

    yes (reduces size of


    broadcast domains as a
    No result of segmentation)
