Repeater
A repeater is used to extend the length of cabling when the distance
required exceeds the length of the cable specifications. It is simply a
transceiver that passes all network data between any two segments.
Note that the repeater passes all network data between the two
segments, regardless of whether or not the one node is sending data to
another node on the same segment.
Bridge
A bridge is more selective than a repeater with the data that it passes
between segments. It also acts as a transceiver between two segments,
but it only passes signals if a node on one of the segments is attempting
to communicate with a node on the other segment. Since the majority of
communication on the network occurs within a single segment, the
bridge does not pass all of the data from one segment to the other. This
lowers the amount of data traffic passing between segments, and makes
the network more efficient than a system that is connected with
repeaters. Shown below is an example of two segments of thin-net
cabling connected by a bridge.
