The designer specifies a maximum distance that the LAN can span,with typical LANs designed to span a few hundred meters. 网络互联设备 17.2 Distance Limitation and LAN Design Distance limitation is a fundamental part of LAN designs. Engineers choose a combination of capacity, maximum delay, and distance that can be achieved at a given cost. To help save expense,LAN technologies usually use a shared communication medium. 17.4 Repeaters中继器 A repeater is usually an analog electronic device that continuously monitors electrical signals on each cable. When it senses a signal on one cable, the repeater transmits an amplified copy on the other cable. 中继器（1） 中继器（2） A repeater connects two Ethernet cables called segments,each of which has the usual termination. Repeaters do not understand the frame format,nor do they have physical addresses. Any pair of computers on the extended LAN can communication,the computers do not know whether a repeater separates them. The repeater attaches directly to the Ethernet cables and sends copies of electrical signals from one to other without waiting for a complete frame. A repeater does not distinguish between the signals that correspond to a valid frame and other electrical signals. If a collision or electrical interference occurs on one segment, repeaters cause the same problem to occur on all other segments. If more than four repeaters separate any pair of stations,the network will not operate correctly. 17.5 Bridges网桥 A bridge is an electrical device that connects two LAN segments. A bridge handles complete frame and uses the same network interface as a conventional computer. The
