Re: Ethernet Hub

Hello Friends,
The main purpose of the Ethernet hub is to transmit the large pockets or cluster of data it receives from one computer onto another through all the ports connected to it. The only drawback of this system is that data can be transferred from only one system at a time. If there are multiple systems sending out data to others, it is likely that a collision will occur. A good analogy could be that of a road with one-way traffic: vehicles coming in the wrong direction might cause chaos.
Some of the Ethernet hubs available come with a screen that displays network usage information, which lets the user know how much data is being transferred between computers. A hub is usually placed in a corner or in a place where there is not much of movement as any kind of motion can disrupt its services. Hubs are found in almost all computer networks today, including those in homes that interconnect computers for internet usage.
Thanks
