Discuss the difference between a hub and a switch.

What will be an ideal response?


One characteristic of a hub is that it broadcasts data received on one port to all other ports, essentially sending copies of data from one node to all other nodes on the LAN. In this way, each node on the network has an opportunity to see each packet of network data. A similar device called a switch learns where to send the data, eliminating a large majority of the broadcast traffic on the LAN. The switch also provides the Star topology.
