Is a hub a combination of software and hardware that links two different types of networks?

No. A hub is hardware that connects different devices within a single network. You probably are thinking of a switch or router.


What is meant by node and Junction?

In the context of networks, a node is a point where two or more links (or branches) meet, whereas a junction is a point where three or more branches meet. Nodes and junctions are important concepts in network theory for analyzing and designing various types of networks, such as electrical circuits or transportation systems.


What is node to node delivery?

Node to node delivery is a general networking reference and is often contrasted with end-to-end delivery. The terms apply equally well to delivering mail and sending data over over the Internet. It helps to have a specific example illustrating the meaning of "network" within the context of the reference to node-to-node, but the general idea is pretty universal. A network is normally made of of connections between many points. Any connection between two of those points without an intervening point is a node-to-node connection. If you are driving a delivery truck, the path between to stops is the node-to-node path and what comes from one stop to the next is a node-to-node delivery. Networks usually have nodes where things enter the network or leave it. If a delivery is to go from and entering point to a leaving point, it is an end-to-end delivery and may involve many or few intermediate node-to-node transportation transfers. Needless to say, there are may variations of nodes and connections and communication strategies in the various networks, so there is this vocabulary that is useful that is general for many types of networks.


How do you connect PC using token ring to a Ethernet supported mainframe?

Typically you would need a gateway for this purpose, because the protocols are very different. In my HP server, for example, I have two NIC cards; one of the NICs connects to a Token Ring network and the other connects to an Ethernet network. The software in the HP server (gateway) manages the translation between the two different types of networks.

What is the name for a cable that connects a computer to another computer to create a two-node network?

The cable used to connect two computers directly to create a two-node network is called a crossover cable. Crossover cables are typically used for Ethernet connections, allowing data to be transmitted directly between the two devices without the need for a network switch or hub.
