to break the packets apart faster

Detailed explanation-1: -When a packet is broadcast, it uses resources on the network and causes every receiving host on the network to process the packet. Therefore, broadcast traffic should be limited so that it does not adversely affect performance of the network or devices.
Detailed explanation-2: -The best practice is to keep each segment as small as possible, where feasible, to prevent switches and hosts from having to process large amounts of unnecessary broadcast traffic. A single broadcast domain can contain more than one IPv4 or IPv6 subnet, however, that is generally not considered good network design.
Detailed explanation-3: -A broadcast storm is an abnormally high number of broadcast packets within a short period of time. They can overwhelm switches and endpoints as they struggle to keep up with processing the flood of packets. When this happens, network performance degrades.
Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation. Hub is a network device which doesn’t limit network broadcast traffic and has low performance.
