Describe the three different hubs that are available in the market today.

What will be an ideal response?


Today, three different hubs are available in the market: passive, active, and intelligent hubs.
1. Passive hubs are the original type of hubs which are used only to connect multiple stations together.
2. Active hubs which are called multi-port repeaters are able to amplify the weak incoming signals and convert to stronger signals for re-transmission to all other stations. The active hubs are also able to filter out the noise from the signals.
3. An intelligent hub not only has the advantages of the passive and active hubs, but also is able to monitor and manage the traffic of the network in order to provide a better and more efficient network.
