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.
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.

Switches operate at layer and Hubs operate at layer of OSI model?
Hubs are a physical layer (layer 1) device; most switches operate at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model.

Routers operate at layer 3. LAN switches operate at layer 2. Ethernet hubs operate at layer 1.
