Converts to digital electrical signal until it goes outside via LAN cable and modem via LAN card (NIC).
When you leave the modem, it is sent as an analog signal .
digital data
This is the form of information processed inside the computer.
For example, text files, images, audio files, etc. are all stored as digital data.
This data exists in binary form consisting of 0 and 1.
(substantial 0,1 data)
digital electrical signal
To transmit digital data between network equipment using a LAN cable, etc., you must convert it into an electrical signal.
This is the digital electrical signal. For example, data transmission over an Ethernet cable uses digital electrical signals.
This signal is typically expressed in two states: high and low voltages, and this transition represents 0 and 1 of the digital data.
(For example, only 0V and 5V exist)
analog signal
The analog signal has a continuous value. For example, the signal used in voice communication over a telephone line is an analog signal.
(For example, the process from 0V to 5V is called an analog signal)
Network equipment (node)
Repeater (Layer1)
If the weakened digital signal becomes far away from each other (bridge)
Send or receive data referring to the routing table (routing table)
router (Layer3)
If the IP address of the transmission and reception data is the network to which it belongs, it is sent to the outside IPDeRouter (gateway)
In general, a home router, etc. has a switching hub and a router function (router)
<
(Efficient to distribute incoming data to specific ports)
(Feels like a mixture of bridges and hubs)
So it is used more than hubs
