Hi folks,
Could someone tell me the difference between and hub and a switching hub?
My understanding is that a switching hub will allow a 100Mbps communication,
regardless if all stations can receive this speed. Alternatively a plain
(?) hub will restrict the network to the lowest speed which is connected to
it.
We are going to install a network of 10 stations plus a server on NT and
will upgrade some older computers, but (to go cheap - not my decision)
probably not replace all cards (10Mbps).
Thank you!
