| Nov 11, 2019 at 15:38 | comment | added | schaiba | There is a difference between "mindless" repeating (what a hub does) and broadcasting (what a switch does) . To be precise, broadcasting is something that a switch "chooses" to do, while a hub will repeat what it "hears" "mindlessly". | |

| Nov 11, 2019 at 15:22 | comment | added | schaiba | "I know that hubs send broadcast packets, so every packets is received by each node in the broadcast domain. I read that frames that are received but that aren't addressed to a NIC'S MAC address are dropped. " -- true for hubs. Broadcast packets don't really make sense with repeaters (hubs), only for switches. | |
