Detailed explanation-1: -A network hub is a node that broadcasts data to every computer or Ethernet-based device connected to it.
Detailed explanation-2: -A network switch connects devices within a network (often a local area network, or LAN*) and forwards data packets to and from those devices.
Detailed explanation-3: -A network hub is designed to connect computers in 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, it broadcasts that data to all other connected devices.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hubs are networking devices operating at a physical layer of the OSI model that are used to connect multiple devices in a network. They are generally used to connect computers in a LAN. A hub has many ports in it. A computer which intends to be connected to the network is plugged in to one of these ports.
