its in peer-to-peer Networking and Applications
A spanning tree protocol, or STP, is characteristic to a LAN. It provides a loop-free topology for networks within the system.
Two different networks are connected by a router. Switches are used to connect network devices within networks.
interconnecting two or more networks(Inter networking)
The characteristic path length of a network is the average number of steps it takes to travel between any two nodes in the network. A shorter characteristic path length indicates a more connected and efficient network, as it allows for quicker and more direct communication between nodes. Networks with longer characteristic path lengths may experience slower communication and reduced overall efficiency.
The purpose of a router is to connect dissimilar networks.
A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP's network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect, and are the critical device that keeps data flowing between networks and keeps the networks connected to the Internet.
your alot of help :-)

Connecting different networks requires a router
The most common types of bridges are the Beam and Arch Bridges.
For two or more connected networks you can use a bridgeto connect them all together.It depends on the two networks. A bridge can only connect two networks of the same type (eg Ethernet or Token-Ring), that also use the same layer 3 network address (eg IP subnet or IPX network #, or AppleTalk network #).A "gateway" device can connect two dissimilar types that share a network address, and a router can connect two networks of different network addresses whether or not they have the same network type.
Firewall act as a security gateway between two networks as trusted and untrusted networks. (VIKRAM SINGH)
