Compare and contrast your response to the network router function on a network to theirs. How is it different? How is it similar? What did you learn from the information posted about routers and switches?A multiport repeater/hub connects many cables that come from different networks then sends a signal to all of the output ports. By amplifying the signal, it allows the effective range to be widened as well as increasing the strength of the signal. A drawback of a multiport repeater is that there are many devices attached, which can lead to an increase in bandwidth and traffic within the network. A network switch functions on a network by finding out which device that packets are coming from and where to send them. Some roles of a network switch are, to be sort of a median to receiving/sending data, and to connect devices while regulating their traffic. Advantages of using a switch over a multiport repeater/hub
