Answer Posted / arun

1. layer 2 deals with frames and layer 3 deals with
packets. layer 2 uses mac and layer 3 uses ip appletalk ipx
etc.
2.hub:serves one port as input other ports as output in
data forwarding.
switch:breaks collison of which port as output from
incoming port (from their mac table)within lan.
router:it is more intelligence to decide easiest and
cheapest path from source of one n/w to desti of other
network
3.segregation of lan may be for security,avoidance of
cd,bandwith consumption
4tcp-wired conn and reliable of datatx
udp-wireless conn and non reliable of data tx.
