New Cooling Craze Sweeping the Nation


Recommended Posts

There is a difference between a hub and a switch. A hub is literally dumb and works at layer 1 of the OSI model (aka the physical layer). The switch operates at layer 2 and has logic chips that determine where packets go depending on the Media access control address of your nics. Hubs *increase your collision domain, while switches *decrease your collision domain.

 

Moral of the story...Stay away from hubs!
