摘要：A network can be defined as a group of computers and other devices connected in some ways so as to be able to exchange data. Now in real life scenario several networks with different protocols and architectures are need to be interconnected for efficient communication. To support this feature there exists many networking relay devices that facilitate communication between heterogeneous networks. Network topology also is a significant factor while considering network communications. This paper presents a precise study of various relay devices with its functionalities and its underlying network topologies
