Discuss the differences between hubs repeaters bridges and switches?
A repeater amplifies a signal. It will also re-send the signal as a "clean" signal.
A hub is a multiport repeater. It will send a signal it receives out, through all of its ports - except the port where it received the signal.
Bridges and switches are more intelligent, in that they send data only to the destination - according to the MAC address.
Bridges and switches are similar, but switches have more hardware optimization, allowing for fast switching of large volumes of data.
