  2. Network bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_bridge

    The bridge has three ports. A is connected to bridge port 1, B is connected to bridge port 2, C is connected to bridge port 3. A sends a frame addressed to B to the bridge. The bridge examines the source address of the frame and creates an address and port number entry for host A in its forwarding table. The bridge examines the destination ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_distribution_system

    Network 1: A wireless base station acting as a simple (non-WDS) wireless router. The packet leaves the game console, goes over-the-air to the router, which then transmits it across the WAN. One packet comes back, through the router, which transmits it wirelessly to the game console. Total packets sent over-the-air: 2.

  8. IGMP snooping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGMP_snooping

    If there are two active listeners in a group and the first one leaves, then the switch determines that the router does not need this information since it does not affect the status of the group from the router's point of view. The next time there is a routine query from the router the switch will forward the reply from the remaining host.

  9. Network address translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

    As traffic passes from the network to the Internet, the router translates the source address in each packet from a private address to the router's own public address. The router tracks basic data about each active connection (particularly the destination address and port). When the router receives inbound traffic from the Internet, it uses the ...
