Study Notes
Network Devices
Routers
- Direct traffic between multiple networks, connecting them and facilitating communication
Switches
- Connect multiple devices within a network, forwarding data packets to the intended recipient
Hubs
- Simple network devices that repeat incoming data signals, broadcasting them to all connected devices
Network Interface Cards (NICs)
- Physical components installed in devices, enabling them to connect to a network and transmit/receive data
Modems
- Facilitate communication between a network and the Internet, converting digital data to analog signals for transmission over phone lines
