Repeater
Repeaters are physical amplifiers without their own processing function.
They refresh data without detecting damaged data and forward all signals.
Repeaters are used for longer transmission distances or when the maximum
number of nodes of 64 devices per twisted pair segment is exceeded. A
request from a client to server is a provision to act on a serivce or funtion
call.
Request
A service request from a client which requests the provision of a service
from a server.
Response

RFC specifications

published in the form of RFCs (Request For Comments).
RJ45 connector
Also referred to as a Western connector. This connector allows the
connection of two network controllers via twisted pair cables.
Router
Connects neighboring subnets, the router operating with addresses and
protocols of the third ISO/OSI layer. As this layer is hardware independent,
the routers allow transition to another transmission medium.
To transmit a message the router evaluates the logical address (source and
destination address) and finds the best path if there are several possibilities.
Routers can be operated as repeaters or bridges.
Routing
Method of selecting the best path over which to send data to a distant
network.
