State the purpose of network hardware : Hubs vs. Switches

The video tutorial explains the differences between network hubs and switches. It begins with an introduction to network devices and their role in creating a local area network (LAN). The tutorial then distinguishes between hubs and switches, highlighting the functionality of a hub as a simple repeater that broadcasts data to all connected devices. The limitations of hubs, such as shared bandwidth and reduced efficiency, are discussed. The video then transitions to the advantages of switches, which intelligently direct data to the correct destination using MAC addresses, resulting in improved network performance and efficiency.

What are the implications of using a hub in a network with multiple computers?

Describe the advantages of using a switch over a hub in a local area network.

Why is it stated that 'nobody uses hubs anymore' in modern networking?
