Hub Ethernet
● Nodes connected to hub
● Hub acts as a broadcast repeater
● Shorted cable runs, Useful for 100 Mbps
● CSMA/CD protocol
● Easy to add/remove users
● Easy to localize faults
● Cheap cabling (twisted pair, 10baseT)
Switched
Ethernet
● No CSMA/CD
● Easy to increase data rate (e.g., Gbit
Ethernet)
● Nodes transmit when they want
● Switch queues the packets and transmits
to destination
● Typical switch capacity of 20-40 ports
● Each node can transmit at the full rate of
10/100/Gbps Full-duplex
switched Ethernet
● Modularity: Switches can be connected to
each other using high rate ports Trend: Migration to
switched LANs
Fast Ethernet
