Simulations show CSMA/CD is very
efficient for slow speed Networks.
 Shared
Ethernet efficiency equation reasonably
accurate.

Simulations also show that Average Delay to
move a packet at head of queue is usually
small, even under heavy load conditions.

Ethernet (Shared) Hub
Operates at OSI Level 1
 ‘Electric Cable’
Traffic arriving at an input is immediately
copied to all other ports on a bit-by bit basis.
 Used on LAN's. Pretty much obsolete.
 Repeater = single input & single output hub

used much on Ethernet any more
 Generally now only used on WAN long haul

Switched Hubs or Bridge

 Look-Up

 Destination

 Destination
 Packet

MAC address not in table?
MAC address in table?

Look-up Table update is dependent on
packet arrivals
Router
Operates at OSI Layers 1, 2, & 3
 Capable of making complex routing decisions

 ‘peers
into’ packets and examines Layer 3 address
Very useful on Large Networks with multiple
end-to-end paths
 Routers frequently exchange connectivity info
with neighboring Routers

 Routing
Algorithms used to update
Routing (Look-Up) Tables
 Tables updated independently of traffic
Bridging versus Routing

Ethernet Bridge, Switch, or Switched Hub
 Uses
Layer 2 MAC Address
 Unknown Destination? Flooded
 Look-up Table updates are packet dependent

Router
 Uses
Layer 3 Internet Protocol Address
 Unknown Destination? Default location
 Look-up Tables updated independently of traffic
Small Network? Doesn't matter
 Big Network? Floods not a good idea.
