Internetwork Device Models

LAN Environment

Internetwork Device Models

The Internetwork Device models are responsible for forwarding packets between LAN segments (that is, Transmission Media models), and they are the most complex models in netWorks LAN environment. Like Computing Device models, Internetwork Device models are connected to Transmission Media models through NICs and arcs, and they also contain a logical processor and bus unit. However, these models necessarily support multiple NICs connected to the bus unit. The logical architecture of an Internetwork Device model is depicted in Figure 4.11.

The Internetwork Device models for Bridge and Router devices are provided in netWorks.
