What is the function of relaying?
The repeater only acts as a forwarding packet and does not make any changes to the contents or headers of the packet.
Simple to say, is used to amplify the signal in the repeater in the wire, the maximum transmission distance theory of stable five cable general is 90 meters, and general in the brand is only 70~80 meters, and then will the loss. At this point, if we still have to use ordinary five - class twisted pair transmission, we need to put a repeater in the 80 meter position, so that the line can work steadily in the length of 160 meters.
A repeater is a network device, a physical layer device for the regeneration and reduction of signals, and a OSI model.
A repeater is a connection device above the network physical layer. Applicable to the same two types of network interconnection, the main function is to transmit or forward data signals to expand the distance of network transmission.
