How does the use of a router differ from a bridge in telecommunication?
- Routers contain many ports to connect different network segments, while a bridge ensures that requests from within the network for information over the internet are distributed to the correct computer within the network.
- A router contains many ports to connect different network segments, while a bridge sends data it receives only to specific ports.
- A router is a communication device that is used to connect two different networks, while a bridge is networking device that divides the network into different segments to manage the amount of traffic.
- A router receives electronic signals, cleans and retransmits them at a higher power level, while a bridge receives electronic signals, cleans and retransmits them at a lower power level.
A router is a communication device that is used to connect two different networks, while a bridge is networking device that divides the network into different segments to manage the amount of traffic.
