data forwarding.
switch:breaks collison of which port as output from
incoming port (from their mac table)within lan.
router:it is more intelligence to decide easiest and
cheapest path from source of one n/w to desti of other
network
3.segregation of lan may be for security,avoidance of
cd,bandwith consumption
