A good site to learn about LAN switches. The site does a good job of explaining
the difference between switches and routers. It also does a good job of showing
the layer where switches,routers, and hubs work.

This is a great site for LAN Switches. I like these "How Stuff Works" sites.
They explain things in straight forward terms with enough technical information
so that it's not boring.

This site is very effective in covering the basic concepts in networking, but it
also goes into extensive detail compared to other sites. I like how they
defined some network terminology in order to explain concepts to people that are
not familiar with networking.

routers. Additional links at the end of this article provides further
