Complete the table by filling in the appropriate layer of the OSI or hub, switch, or router device. You can find the answers in Appendix A.
| Description | Device or OSI layer |
| This device sends and receives information about the Network layer. | |
| This layer creates a virtual circuit before transmitting between two end stations. | |
| A Layer 3 switch or multilayer switch. | |
| This device uses hardware addresses to filter a network. | |
| Ethernet is defined at these layers. | |
| This layer supports flow control and sequencing. | |
| This device can measure the distance to a remote network. | |
| Logical addressing is used at this layer. | |
| Hardware addresses are defined at this layer. | |
| This device creates one big collision domain and one large broadcast domain. | |
| This device creates many smaller collision domains, but the network is still one large broadcast domain. | |
| This device can never run full duplex. | |
| This device breaks up collision domains and broadcast domains. |
