2. Ethernet hub - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_hub

   An Ethernet hub, active hub, network hub, repeater hub, multiport repeater, or simply hub [a] is a network hardware device for connecting multiple Ethernet devices together and making them act as a single network segment. It has multiple input/output (I/O) ports, in which a signal introduced at the input of any port appears at the output of ...

3. Network switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

   A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, Ethernet switch, and, by the IEEE, MAC bridge [1]) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device. A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data ...

4. Multi-link trunking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-link_trunking

   Multi-link trunking (MLT) is a link aggregation technology developed at Nortel in 1999. It allows grouping several physical Ethernet links into one logical Ethernet link to provide fault-tolerance and high-speed links between routers, switches, and servers.

5. Port expander - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_expander

   Some systems may even use an A/B box, a device that connects multiple sets of devices to the same system, with users switching between them by flipping between the A or B mode. These devices all perform the same basic job that a port expander does. The expander will connect to a single spot, but have multiple connections for devices.

6. Networking hardware - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_hardware

   Repeater hub: for connecting multiple Ethernet devices together at the same speed, making them act as a single network segment. It has multiple input/output (I/O) ports, in which a signal introduced at the input of any port appears at the output of every port except the original incoming. [1]

7. Link aggregation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation

   Nortel's split multi-link trunking (SMLT) protocol allows multiple Ethernet links to be split across multiple switches in a stack, preventing any single point of failure and additionally allowing all switches to be load balanced across multiple aggregation switches from the single access stack. These devices synchronize state across an Inter ...
