Switches and routers are core networking devices in LAN, enterprise network, data center, and broadband access systems. Network Devices are the physical appliances required for communication and interaction between computers on a computer network. Improve network performance by. Every network you have ever used is built from a small set of device types, and each one has exactly one job it is good at. A router moves traffic between networks.
[pdf] Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required. A particularly useful feature of intrinsic fiber-optic sensors is that they can, if required, provide distributed sensing over very large distances.
