One of the LANs uses CSMA/CD and the other one is a Token Ring LAN. What will be your recommendation?a) Use a Source-Routing bridgeb) Use a Transparent bridgec) Use a Transparent bridge, but check the features to make sure that it has the appropriate conversion function.d) Use a Remote bridge.8Routers3-Layer device that connects:–a LAN to a WAN–a WAN to a WAN (or used to forward messages in a WAN)–LANs to LANs tooFunctions:–Conversion between frame formats–Forwarding frames–Making routing decisions–Often firewall functions (protection)9Routers1. Receives a frame with a CSMA/CD format2. Removes the CSMA/CD header and Trailer (Deencapsulation)3. Encapsulates the WAN’s header and Trailer4. Sends the frame into the WAN10RoutersLike bridges, routers have incoming and outgoing portsFrame arrives at incoming portData LinkData LinkData LinkData LinkNetwork/InternetNetwork/InternetIncoming FrameIncoming FrameFirst Router• 3-Layer devices11RoutersIncoming Data Link on the Router–Removes the LAN’s Header & Trailer to access the Network/Internet Layer’s packet (deencapsulation)–Passes the removed packet to the router’ Network/Internet layerData LinkData LinkData LinkData LinkNetwork/InternetNetwork/InternetPacketPacketFirst RouterIncoming Port on First RouterIncoming FrameIncoming Frame12RoutersSince the Network/Internet layer is the highest layer on a router–Network/Internet layer decides where to send the packet next: another router or the destination LANData LinkData LinkData LinkData LinkNetwork/InternetNetwork/InternetFirst Router13Layer Cooperation on the First RouterNetwork/Internet layer passes Network/Internet packet to Data Link layer on the selected outgoing port that will carry the packet to the next router or the destination LANData LinkData LinkData LinkData LinkNetwork/InternetNetwork/InternetFirst RouterPacketSelected Outgoing Port on First Router14Layer Cooperation on the First RouterThe Data Link layer on the selected port creates a Frame including the packet, a Header and a TrailerThe created frame is passed to the Physical layer on the selected port for transmission to the next router (or destination LAN)Net./InternetNet./InternetData LinkData LinkNet./InternetNet./InternetData LinkData LinkFrameSelected Outgoing PortOn First RouterIncoming PortOn Next RouterPhysicalLayer151.Station A transmitsto the Hub2.Hub broadcaststo all stationsStation C must wait,or its signal willcollide with Station A'ssignalStationAStationBStationCStationAStationBStationCHub operationHubs split available bandwidth among computers, i.e. with a 100 Mbps hub, the network speed will be 100 Mbps / n (where n is the number of computers)Active hubs include repeater capabilities for regenerating signals.Passive hubs don't regenerate signals.

How a Source-routing bridge differ from a transparent bridge ? 2. What is the purpose of a discovery frame ?3. In what situations is a Remote bridge used? 4. What are the basic functions of a router?5. What is a crossover cable?20Summary Questions1. The local area network shown in Figure 8-18 (p. 261) has two hubs (X and Y) interconnecting the workstations and servers. What workstations and servers will receive a copy of a packet if the following workstations/servers transmit a message:Workstation 1 sends a message to workstation 3:Workstation 2 sends a message to Server 1:Server 1 sends a message to workstation 3:2.
