What is Hub?
A hub is a basic network device that connects multiple devices in a LAN and broadcasts incoming data to all connected ports, regardless of the intended recipient. This makes hubs simple but inefficient, as all devices receive all traffic, even if it is not meant for them. Hubs have largely been replaced by switches, which are smarter and handle traffic more efficiently.
