of routing and forwarding information.

-BRIDGES is a internetworking device used to

help conserve the bandwidth on the network.

-REPEATERS is an electronic device that

receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher

level and/or higher power, or onto the other

side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances.
