Abstract
A review is presented of the principal functional characteristics of routers and bridges, particularly as they relate to the construction of large-scale internetworks. The discussion of bridges covers filtering performance, forwarding performance, packet latency, adaptability, internetwork topology, network management, security transparency, and multiway and fault-tolerant bridges. The discussion of routers covers network layer protocols, internetwork size, static versus dynamic routing, routing information updates, network management, routing optimizations, session survivability, contamination containment, routing optimization, and load sharing.Keywords
