Abstract

An examination is made of data link bridges and internetwork routers, two technologies that provide for the extension and interconnection of local networks, which may occur using high-speed wide-area digital data communications services. The discussion of bridges covers simple bridges, learning bridges, source routing, and quality of service offered by bridges. The discussion of routers considers the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (known as TCP/IP) used by ARPAnet, DECnet, and quality of service offered by routers.
