ROUTING
Routing
Router
A router is a device that determines the next
network point to which a packet should be
forwarded toward its destination
Allow different networks to communicate with each
other
A router creates and maintain a table of the
available routes and their conditions and uses this
information to determine the best route for a given
packet.
A packet will travel through a number of network
points with routers before arriving at its destination.
There can be multiple routes defined. The route with
a lower weight/metric will be tried first.

Device Description
Hub Hubs are used to connect multiple users to a single physical device,
which connects to the network. Hubs and concentrators act as
repeaters by regenerating the signal as it passes through them.
Bridge Bridges are used to logically separate network segments within the
same network. They operate at the OSI data link layer (Layer 2) and
are independent of higher-layer protocols.
Switch Switches are similar to bridges but usually have more ports.
Switches provide a unique network segment on each port, thereby
separating collision domains. Today, network designers are
replacing hubs in their wiring closets with switches to increase their
network performance and bandwidth while protecting their existing
wiring investments.
Router Routers separate broadcast domains and are used to connect
different networks. Routers direct network traffic based on the
destination network layer address (Layer 3) rather than the
workstation data link layer or MAC address.

VLANs
VLANs (Virtual LAN) enable network managers to
group users logically (based on functions, project
teams or applications) rather than by physical
location.
Traffic can only be routed between VLANs.
VLANs provide the segmentation traditionally
provided by physical routers in LAN configuration.

VLANs and Inter VLAN Routing

Advantages of Using VLANs
Broadcast Control— Just as switches physically isolate
collision domains for attached hosts and only forward
traffic out a particular port, VLANs provide logical bridging
domains that confine broadcast and multicast traffic to the
VLANs.
Security— If you do not allow routing in a VLAN, no users
outside of that VLAN can communicate with the users in
the VLAN and vice versa. This extreme level of security
can be highly desirable for certain projects and
applications.
Performance— You can assign users that require high-
performance or isolated networking to separate VLANs.

Transport Layer Protocol
TCP is connection Oriented (uses checksum and

UDP is Connectionless
Both use the concept of Connection Port Number
(16 Bit Source Port Number and Destination Port
Number)
Standard Applications have standard Port Numbers
