DEFINITION OF BRIDGE, REPEATER, GATEWAY, ROUTER & BROUTER (NETWORK)

BRIDGE



Bridge is a network component that is used to extend the network or create a network segment. Network bridge operates at the data link layer of the OSI model. The bridge can also be used to combine two different network media, as well as between media cable  Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) with an optical fiber cable or two different network architectures, as well as between Token Ring and Ethernet. The bridge will make the signal transmitted by a sender but does not do the conversion of the protocol, so that the two network segments connected to the bridge, there must be the same network protocol (such as TCP / IP).

REPEATER



Repeater is a station to receive the incoming signal and sends it back at a different frequency. The main objective is to extend the reach of repeater operation of the mobile station, or stations in low areas or in remote areas where communications simplex is usually not possible. Also can be used as a contact channel call before switching to a simplex frequency. 

GATEWAY



Gateway is a device used to connect a computer network with one or more computer networks that use different communication protocols so that information from a computer network can be given to other computer networks of different protocol. The definition is the definition of gateway that first. Concomitant by widespread internet gateway definitions often shifted. Not infrequently beginners equate "gateway" to the "router" that is actually not true.

ROUTER



A router is a device that sends data packets through a network or the Internet to the destination, through a process known as routing. The process of routing occurs at layer 3 (network layer such as Internet Protocol) of the protocol stacks (protocol stack) seven-layer OSI model.

BROUTER



A network interface that combines the functions Router and Bridge. This tool set passage of the data in accordance with the protocol used and bridges all other data traffic.
