  1. Bridges Computer Networks

  2. Bridges Outline • Repeaters • Bridges • Backward learning • Bridge Loops • Spanning trees (transparent bridges) • Source-routing bridges (e.g., token rings) Computer Networks Bridges

  3. Repeaters S4 S1 S2 S3 LAN1 LAN2 Repeater A repeater operates at the physical layer and forwards everything between the two LANs. LAN1 and LAN2 are in the same collision domain. Computer Networks Bridges

  4. Bridges Bridge Leon-Garcia & Widjaja: Communication Networks Computer Networks Bridges

  5. Bridges • Operate at the data link layer. • Bridges use backward learning in recording source address on transmissions. • Unlike repeaters, bridges will not forward a frame onto another LAN segment if it knows about the location of the destination node. • Bridge management gets more complicated when loops are possible in the frame route. Computer Networks Bridges
