Internet
- An internet is a generic term used to mean an interconnection of individual networks
- To create an internet, we need networking devices called routers and gateways
- An internet is different from the Internet
- Internet is the name of a specific worldwide network
Connecting devices (Figure-1)

Repeaters
Repeaters (Figure-1)

- A repeater allows us to extend only the physical length of a network
- Repeater is a regenerator, not an amplifier

Bridges

- Bridges can divide a large network into smaller segments

When a frame enters a bridge, the bridge:
- not only regenerates the signal
- but check the address of the destination and forwards the new copy only to the
segment to which the address belongs

Routers

Routers relay packets among multiple interconnection networks
