Spelling: Hub
See also: Switch [1], Router [2]
An Ethernet [3] device used to connect multiple Clients [4], Servers
[5] and other network resources together on the same network.
Unlike a Switch [6], a Hub is a dumb device. It simply broadcasts
traffic received on one port to all other ports. All devices connected
to a Hub receive all the network traffic sent from every other device
on the Hub - whether they need to receive it or not.
