Network devices such as ONU, router, and switch play an important role in the Internet. Today we will talk about the differences between the three, as follows:
Designed for high-speed and reliable performance, ONU is a device used in FTTx networks to convert optical signals into electrical signals for end-user access, ensuring stable and efficient data transmission. ONU connects to the OLT at the ISP end and transmits the signal to the home or business.
A router is a network device that connects different networks and manages the traffic between them. It can guide data packets by IP address, enabling efficient communication between the LAN and the Internet. In addition, it is equipped with advanced features such as firewall and VPN support to keep data flows secure and optimized.
A switch is a network device used to connect multiple devices within a LAN. It efficiently forwards data by directing data packets only to the intended recipient, thereby improving network performance. It is often used in business environments to facilitate device-to-device communication, reduce network congestion, and improve overall bandwidth efficiency.
