Diagram for the point to point connection of two ethernets.


Diagram of a learning bridge.

Drawing of hubs and bridges connecting different Ethernet segments. At the upper right is a large Ethernet which still obeys the 4-repeater rule. At the lower right is an Ethernet connected by bridges, with two links being eliminated (i.e., the bridges agree not to use these links) by the spanning tree algorithm.

The lowest 4 layers of the OSI standard stack are:
