What are the different types of networking devices?

The basic types of networking and inter networking devices

are Routers, Repeaters, Bridges and Gateways.

In general a Bridge is used to alienate a huge network

into smaller sectors. Their operation is held both in 

physical and data link layers of same genre LANs. 

A router is one which receives and passes on the packets

among different inter connected networks. Their operation 

can be held in physical, data link and network layers.

They are usually activated by software

 

 

 

A Network redirector provides the functionality of the 

presentation layer of the OSI model.

A packet filter helps to pass or block the packets on 

to a network interface based on source and destination.
