Hello,
I am studying an I.T course (computer stuff, I dont know the exact translation) and today we were at the network class and someone asked the teacher: "If a HUB (with 4 computers connected) receives a message from PC 1 and wants to send it to PC 4, the PC 2 and 3 will get it and discard it, but what if the PC 4 is offline? Will it store the message and send it later?"
I'm not sure if I'm right but I think if PC 4 is offline and didn't get the message from PC 1, when PC 4 came back online, it shouldn't get any message since it's been lost.
I tried to look on the web for answers but found nothing... Can someone please help me? I really need to know this.
Thanks!
