Spelling: Hub
See also: Switch [1]
An Ethernet [2] device used to connect multiple Clients [3], Servers
[4] and other network resources together on the same network.
Unlike a Switch [5], 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.
