boys and girls,
we're planning on sticking in a couple of new g4's (with gigabit ethernet)
into our network - to do this we need to get a new ethernet hub...
we've been advised to get a switch rather than a hub? has anyone experience
of these or indeed what the difference between the two is?
as i understand it a standard ethernet hub accepts a signal from a machines
ethernet port and broadcasts it to all machine regardless of if they want it
or not.
the switch only sends out the info to the machine its requested from i
think? this should cut down on needless network traffic....
any advice?
cheers,
jake
