Re: Apple Talk in a G4

[David M. Ensteness]

Network hubs come in several varieties, hubs, switches, and routers. 
There are also managed and unmanaged versions of each, each lends a 
different amount of control over the data passing through the device. 
Routers are by nature switches, but generally they have few ports, so 
you plug a router into a hub or switch in order to give you more ports. 
A switch has higher throughput and other advantages making it more 
effective than a hub.
