Differentiate ethernet switch and a hub?



Differentiate ethernet switch and a hub?..

Answer / Tulika Tripathi

An Ethernet switch is an intelligent networking device that forwards data only to specific destinations based on MAC addresses, whereas a hub is a passive device that broadcasts incoming data to all connected devices. This means that switches can improve network performance by reducing collisions and increasing bandwidth efficiency, while hubs simply pass all traffic indiscriminately to all connected devices.
