What else can I help you with?
How do hubs segregate packets?
Hubs segregate packets because hubs are used as switches. Through a VLAN, hubs, when used as switches, can easily segregate incoming and outgoing traffic.
What is max no of hops in hypercube network to go from one node to another?
This depends on if you are using hubs or switches.
Why it is easier to scan a network that is connected with Hubs rather than with Switches?
It is easier to scan a network connected by hubs than by switches because a switch can limit traffic between subnets, whereas a hub cannot, and would therefore require more overhead to facilitate a scan.
What are the purposes of switches and hubs?
Switches increase the number of collision domains in the network.
When is the appropriate time to replace hubs with switches?
As soon as possible. Switches are much more efficient than hubs because hubs send the data to all the connect nodes, unlike switches that only forward packets to the appropriate node. Hubs cause a lot of packet collisions which reduces the efficiency of your network. __________________ I was going to say "Now, because switches are so cheap". But your answer is better.
Where can I find a magazine about network hubs and switches?
There is no magazine that is specific to network hubs and switches. However, PC Magazine is a computer magazine available on newsstands and MozillaQuest (http://mozillaquest.com/index.html) is an online magazine that may include articles and other information on network hubs and switches.

What connects networks of the same type?
Switches, hubs...
Which usually connects a LAN togeather?
hubs, switches or routers.
What is the advantage of using switches rather than hubs?
The major benefit of a switch over a hub is the increase in the amount of collision domains. This allows a switched network to benefit from full duplex transmissions, negating the need for CSMA/CD, and doubling the potential throughput for each network segment. Switches typically operate at layer 2 of the OSI model, using destination MAC addresses within the Ethernet frame to intelligently filter or forward packets.
What distinguishes switches from repeating devices such as hubs?
layer 3 switches require ip address but hub do not require
A network backbone is the WHAT that connects the hubs switches and routers on a network?
cabling
