Which connecting device use spanning tree algorithm to create a loop less technology.
Which connecting device use spanning tree algorithm to create a loop less technology.
The correct option is C Bridge
Bridge connecting device
use spanning tree algorithm to create a loop less technology.
Where two bridges are
used to interconnect the same two computer network segments, spanning tree is a
protocol that allows the bridges to exchange information so that only one of
them will handle a given message that is being sent between two computers
within the network. The spanning tree protocol prevents the condition known as
a bridge loop.
In a local area network
(LAN) such as an Ethernet or token ring network, computers compete for the
ability to use the shared telecommunications path at any given time. If too
many computers try to send at the same time, the overall performance of the
network can be affected, even to the point of bringing all traffic to a near
halt. To make this possibility less likely, the local area network can be
divided into two or more network segments with a device called a bridge
connecting any two segments. Each message (called a frame) goes through the
bridge before being sent to the intended destination. The bridge determines
whether the message is for a destination within the same segment as the
sender's or for the other segment, and forwards it accordingly.
A bridge does nothing
more than look at the destination address and, based on its understanding of
the two segments (which computers are on which segments), forwards it on the
right path (which means to the correct outgoing port). The benefit of network
segmentation (and the bridge) is that the amount of competition for use of the
network path is reduced by half (assuming each segment has the same number of
computers) and the possibility of the network coming to a halt is significantly
reduced.
