Setting up a network

Hello, what is the diffe from a hub and a switch

 

[rdc363]

A switch uses a mac-table where data is routed only to the intended recipient via it's Mac address; it keeps a table correlating the switch port to mac-address. A hub is open to all devices on it. Hubs are prone to being sniffed, while switches are more secure, but can be sniffed with "mac flooding".
