Bridges play a crucial role in network segmentation by dividing a single network into smaller segments, known as collision domains. This division helps in reducing network congestion, improving security, and enhancing overall network performance. Bridges operate at the data link layer of the OSI model and make forwarding decisions based on MAC addresses. They function

Switches and hubs are not the same devices in the field of computer networking. While both switches and hubs are used to connect devices within a network, they differ in functionality and the way they handle network traffic. Understanding the differences between switches and hubs is crucial in the field of cybersecurity as it can
