Hubs

Hubs are devices that allow multiple devices to be connected to a network, enabling them to communicate with each other and share resources such as internet connections, printers, and storage devices. They are typically used in small networks, as they are less efficient than switches and can only handle a limited number of devices.

Hubs work by receiving data packets from one device and then forwarding them to all the other devices connected to the hub. This means that all devices on the network receive the same data, regardless of whether or not they are the intended recipient. As a result, hubs can create network congestion and slow down the overall performance of the network.

Despite their limitations, hubs can still be useful in certain situations. They are often used as a low-cost alternative to switches, as they are less expensive and do not require any configuration. They can also be useful in situations where all devices on the network need to receive the same data, such as in a small home network.

So whether you're looking to set up a new network or expand your existing one, hubs are an essential component that provides basic connectivity.
