The type of network architecture that allows for segmentation between devices is known as a segmented network architecture. This setup enhances performance and security by dividing a larger network into smaller, manageable segments. Each segment can operate independently, allowing for better control of traffic and reducing congestion. Additionally, segmentation helps isolate sensitive data and systems from the rest of the network, providing enhanced security. Techniques such as firewalls and virtual LANs (VLANs) are often used to implement network segmentation effectively.
