A) ​Switches
B) ​Routers
C) ​Hubs
D) ​Bridges

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Switches make forwarding decisions based on layer 2 (MAC) addresses. They maintain a table of MAC addresses and their corresponding ports, and forward frames to the appropriate port based on the destination MAC address. Routers, on the other hand, make forwarding decisions based on layer 3 (IP) addresses. Hubs and Bridges are older networking devices that are less commonly used today.
