  26. HUB An Ethernet hub, active hub, network hub, repeater hub, multiport repeater or hub is a 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 every port except the original incoming. A hub works at the physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model. The device is a form of multiport repeater. Repeater hubs also participate in collision detection, forwarding a jam signal to all ports if it detects a collision. Cambridge International AS and A Level Computing 9691

  28. What is Collision • A collision is the situation that occurs when two or more demands are made simultaneously on equipment that can handle only one at any given instant Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection , a set of rules determining how network devices respond when two devices attempt to use a data channel simultaneously (called a collision) Cambridge International AS and A Level Computing 9691

  29. Cambridge International AS and A Level Computing 9691

  30. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection • Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) is aMedia Access Control method • The CSMA/CD method is internationally standardized in IEEE 802.3 and ISO 8802.3 Cambridge International AS and A Level Computing 9691

  31. Network Switch • A network switch is a small hardware device that joins multiple computers together within one local area network (LAN). Technically, network switches operate at layer two (Data Link Layer) of the OSI model Cambridge International AS and A Level Computing 9691

  32. Cambridge International AS and A Level Computing 9691

  33. Network Device (Router) • Routers are small physical devices that join multiple networks together. Technically, a router is a Layer 3gateway device, meaning that it connects two or more networks and that the router operates at the network layer of the OSI model Cambridge International AS and A Level Computing 9691
