What makes a “computer network”?
What if there are more that 2 computers?
More than two computers connected using a networking device.
What if there are more that 2 computers?
“Networking Device” Hub / Bridge / Switch / Router
Hub - Layer 1● “Dumb” - Forwarding decisions - Send incoming bits out all other
ports.● Number of ports - More than 2.● Single collision domain.
Bridge - Layer 2● “Intelligent” - Decisions based on destination MAC address.● Store and Forward.● Number of ports - 2● Splits collision domain.
Switch - Layer 2● “More Intelligent” - Multiport bridge. Decisions based on
destination MAC address.● Store and Forward.● Number of ports - More than 2.● Splits collision domain.
Router - Layer 3● “Intelligence on a totally different level! Layer 3!”● Store and Forward.● Number of ports - More than 2.● Splits collision domain.

Overview
TCP/IP Protocol Stack
Review of Spanning Tree Protocol
Why, What and How?
“Loopy” network● Network Admins love loops. They call it “redundancy”. ● But, loops are bad.● Lets walk through an example
Note : Project statusTest cases are up on the course site!
