WikiAnswers cannot answer a statement.
It is defined the component which is control the system. It consists of router, bridge, switch, hub, repeater. All the components are acted at the same time.
Physical layer = Hub, NIC, Repeater. Data Link Layer = Switch, Bridge. Network Layer = Router.
A router. The key word is create. you can not create a domain using a switch, repeater, or hub.
Bridge, Switches, Router.
Multicasting can be done on a hub but a hub does not need it always. Configuring a router or switch to use multicasting requires that the router or switch be IGMP capable.
An active hub can act as a repeater hub. It may also work as an Ethernet hub, network hub, and a multiport repeater.
More like an antennae.
a) Router is more expensive than Hub, Bridge & Switch. b) Router only work with routable protocol. c) Routing updates consume bandwidth. d) Increase latency due to greater degree of packet filtering.
Yes, switch as well as hub and router are network devices.
A device on a network are gateway, router, bridge, switch, hub, repeater, multilayer switch, protocol converter, bridge router, digital media receiver, proxy, firewall, and network address translator. A computer on a network is called a networking computer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_networking_device
switch and hub
Granted a router is a slower device than a hub, repeater, or switch or bridge. This is because it must look at the entire frame and decode the layer 3 information to decide whether or not to forward/route a packet to another network. The decision on routing takes time as well, because the router must consult its routing tables to determine the best route. This makes the router device a slower device than devices operating at a lower OSI layer level.
