A network hub connects computers to each other but does not understand the data it transfers. It broadcasts all data packets received from any connected device to all other connected devices, regardless of the intended destination. While hubs are inexpensive and allow multiple devices to connect, they have several disadvantages: they run in half-duplex mode, share bandwidth between ports so each gets a lower speed, and cannot support large networks due to their limited number of ports.

2. HUB
• A network hub is designed to connect computers to
each other with no real understanding of what it is
transferring.
• Typically, a network hub is used for a private
network, one that does not have any connections to
sources other than local computers (meaning, no
Internet access).
• When a hub receives a Packet of data from a
connected device, it broadcast that data packet to
all other connected devices regardless of which one
ends up being the final destination

3. Advantages of Hub
• Hub is less expensive product.
• it is used for connect the multiple devices.
•

4. Disadvantages of Hub
• It will broadcast to all the ports.
• It runs half duplex.
• If 10 Ports in a hub it will share bandwidth of 100
MbPs, So each port share 10 Mbps.
• A hub has minimum 4 ports and cannot
accommodate for big Networks
