List of computer networking devices

Common basic networking devices:

 Gateway: device sitting at a network node for interfacing with another network that
uses different protocols. Works on OSI layers 4 to 7.
 Router: a specialized network device that determines the next network point to which
to forward a data packet toward its destination. Unlike a gateway, it cannot interface
different protocols. Works on OSI layer 3.

 Bridge: a device that connects multiple network segments along the data link layer.
Works on OSI layer 2.

 Switch: a device that allocates traffic from one network segment to certain lines
(intended destination(s)) which connect the segment to another network segment. So
unlike a hub a switch splits the network traffic and sends it to different destinations
rather than to all systems on the network. Works on OSI layer 2.

 Hub: connects multiple Ethernet segments together making them act as a single
segment. When using a hub, every attached device shares the same broadcast domain
and the same collision domain. Therefore, only one computer connected to the hub is
able to transmit at a time. Depending on the network topology, the hub provides a basic
 level 1 OSI model connection among the network objects (workstations, servers, etc.). It
provides bandwidth which is shared among all the objects, compared to switches, which
provide a dedicated connection between individual nodes. Works on OSI layer 1.

 Repeater: device to amplify or regenerate digital signals received while setting them
from one part of a network into another. Works on OSI layer 1.

Some hybrid network devices:

 Multilayer Switch: a switch which, in addition to switching on OSI layer 2, provides

functionality at higher protocol layers.
 Protocol Converter: a hardware device that converts between two different types of
transmissions, such as asynchronous and synchronous transmissions.

 Bridge Router(Brouter): Combine router and bridge functionality and are therefore
working on OSI layers 2 and 3.

 Digital media receiver: Connects a computer network to a home theatre

Hardware or software components that typically sit on the connection point of different
networks, e.g. between an internal network and an external network:

 Proxy: computer network service which allows clients to make indirect network
connections to other network services
 Firewall: a piece of hardware or software put on the network to prevent some
communications forbidden by the network policy

 Network Address Translator: network service provide as hardware or software that

converts internal to external network addresses and vice versa

Other hardware for establishing networks or dial-up connections:

 Multiplexer: device that combines several electrical signals into a single signal
 Network Card: a piece of computer hardware to allow the attached computer to
communicate by network

 Modem: device that modulates an analog "carrier" signal (such as sound), to encode
digital information, and that also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the
transmitted information, as a computer communicating with another computer over the
telephone network

 ISDN terminal adapter (TA): a specialized gateway for ISDN

  Line Driver: a device to increase transmission distance by amplifying the signal. Base-
band networks only.

 Network Device Connectivity
