  2. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Some switches can also forward data at the network layer (layer 3) by additionally incorporating routing functionality. Such switches are commonly known as layer-3 switches or multilayer switches.

  3. Multilayer switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilayer_switch

    Switching uses different kinds of network switches. A standard switch is known as a layer-2 switch and is commonly found in nearly any LAN. Layer-3 or layer-4 switches require advanced technology (see managed switch) and are more expensive and thus are usually only found in larger LANs or in special network environments.

  4. Data link layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_link_layer

    This layer is the protocol layer that transfers data between nodes on a network segment across the physical layer. [2] The data link layer provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data between network entities and may also provide the means to detect and possibly correct errors that can occur in the physical layer. The data link ...

  5. Switching loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switching_loop

    The loop creates broadcast storms as broadcasts and multicasts are forwarded by switches out every port, the switch or switches will repeatedly rebroadcast the broadcast messages flooding the network. [1] Since the layer-2 header does not include a time to live (TTL) field, if a frame is sent into a looped topology, it can loop forever.

  6. Spanning Tree Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_Tree_Protocol

    When implemented in a network, STP designates one layer-2 switch as root bridge. All switches then select their best connection towards the root bridge for forwarding and block other redundant links. All switches constantly communicate with their neighbors in the LAN using § Bridge protocol data units (BPDUs). [4]: 388

  7. List of networking hardware vendors - Wikipedia
