What is the difference between routers, switches and hubs?..

Answer / Arpit Mishra

Routers, switches, and hubs are three different types of networking devices. Routers connect multiple networks and forward data packets based on their network addresses, whereas switches connect devices within a single network segment and forward data only to specific destinations. Hubs are passive devices that broadcast incoming data to all connected devices. Switches and routers are more intelligent than hubs and can improve network performance by reducing collisions and increasing bandwidth efficiency.
