 3 Different Network Devices

 HUB
 Switch
 Router
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.

ROUTER
• ROUTER works in the
network layer of OSI model.
• ROUTER is a routing device
use to create route for
transmitting data packets.
• ROUTER is use to connect
two or more different
network.
• ROUTER sends data in the
form packets.
• ROUTER works in full
duplex.
• Multiple devices can send
data at the same time.
• ROUTER uses IP address to
transfer data.
 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
• Network device that forwards packets
from one network to another. Based on
internal routing tables, routers read
each incoming packing and decide how
to forward it. Routers work at the
network layer of the protocol.
• Route traffic from one network to
other.
• Routers provide additional features like
DHCP servers, NAT static , and wireless
networking/IPV6 address, Mac address
• Support dynamic routing
• Works on Layer 3 and Layer 4 of OSI
model.
GATEWAY
• Device that converts one protocol
or format to another. A network
gateway converts packets from one
protocol to another. The gateway
function as an entry/exit point to
the network.
• Translate from one protocol to
other
• Protocol conversion like VoIP to
PSTN or network access control etc.
• Does not support dynamic routing
• Works up to layer 5 of OSI model.
 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.“
