02-hub (HUB)（02-HUB(集线器)）(国外英语资料) Fully interpret the hub If we often contact network, as the basis of building a LAN device hubs should not unfamiliar, but for the hubs behind various aspects of knowledge, we know how many? The definition of a hub HUB (HUB) belong to the infrastructure in the data communication system, the transmission medium, such as it and twisted pair is a without any support or little software hardware device management software. It is widely used in various situations. The hub works on a LAN (LAN) environment, like a network card, which is applied to the first layer of the OSI reference model and is therefore called the physical layer device. Hub internal used electrical interconnection, while maintaining a LAN environment is the logical bus or ring type structure, can use hub to create a physical star or tree network structure. In this regard, the hub ACTS as a multiport repeater. In fact, the hub is actually a kind of repeater, the difference only lies in the hub port services to provide more, so a hub is also called multi-port Repeaters.
