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.
Yes, switch as well as hub and router are network devices.
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.
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.
