  2. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network_diagram

    A computer network diagram is a schematic depicting the nodes and connections amongst nodes in a computer network or, more generally, any telecommunications network ...

  4. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    A network switch is a device that forwards and filters OSI layer 2 datagrams between ports based on the destination MAC address in each frame. [16] A switch is distinct from a hub in that it only forwards the frames to the physical ports involved in the communication rather than all ports connected.

  5. Multilayer switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilayer_switch

    A multilayer switch (MLS) is a computer networking device that switches on OSI layer 2 like an ordinary network switch and provides extra functions on higher OSI layers. The MLS was invented [ 1 ] by engineers at Digital Equipment Corporation .

  6. Packet switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

    CompuServe developed its own packet switching network, implemented on DEC PDP-11 minicomputers acting as network nodes that were installed throughout the US (and later, in other countries) and interconnected. Over time, the CompuServe network evolved into a complicated multi-tiered network incorporating ATM, Frame Relay, IP and X.25 technologies.

  7. Network diagram software - Wikipedia

    Broadly, there are four types of tools that help create network maps and diagrams: Hybrid tools; Network Mapping tools; Network Monitoring tools; Drawing tools; Network mapping and drawing software support IT systems managers to understand the hardware and software services on a network and how they are interconnected. Network maps and diagrams ...

  8. Ethernet crossover cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable

    An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly. It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type, e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers) or two switches to each other.

  9. Time-slot interchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-Slot_Interchange

    A time-slot interchange (TSI) switch is a network switch that stores data in RAM in one sequence, and reads it out in a different sequence. It uses RAM, a small routing memory and a counter. Like any switch, it has input and output ports. The RAM stores the packets or other data that arrive via its input terminal.
