Answer / s.m.feroz ahmed
Hi,
Hub and switch both are used for connecting network systems
but the main difference between hub and switch is Hub can
support a maximum of 16 ports and whereas a switch can
support upto 64 ports maximum .The main difference between
hub and switch is in a Hub the bandwidth provided by ISP is
divided into all ports and so the internet access slow
where in switch Internet access is high when compared to
Hub as the same bandwidth provided by ISP is released at a
time to all ports on switch.
