Both switches and hubs are networking devices used to connect multiple devices in a local area network (LAN). However, a key similarity between them is that they both operate at the data link layer of the OSI model. Additionally, both devices forward data packets to their destination based on the MAC address of the devices connected to them. Despite these similarities, switches are more advanced than hubs as they can intelligently forward data packets to specific devices based on their MAC addresses, while hubs simply broadcast data to all connected devices.

What is the difference between a route switch and a hub?

Hi all,The main differance between the a switch and Hub is the hub will disribute the data among the system.(For eg: a hub have 8 port and in each system is connected and if a a system send a data of 100 mbps then all the system will share the data among themself and by the end system 100/8 it will send or get around 12.5mbps.) but incase of switch is won't do such things instead it will send the data as the same amount as it sends from the source.
