What is Hub ?

what is a Hub ?

  • Hub is a networking device which is used to connect multiple devices together in LAN(local area network).
  • Hub works under physical layer of OSI(open system interconnection) model.
  • It is purely hardware device where data reaches from one or, more nodes and is forwarded to one or, more nodes.
  • Traffic is high in hub because it is purely hardware .It has not software to determine the destination address.so,it does only forwarding but not filtering.Lets take an example for better understand:-            
  • If pc1 sends data to pc2,Data will goes to pc2 and also data goes to pc3 and pc4.which means hub can not do filtering .It can do only forwarding.                                                                                                                                                           
  • Collision is high in hub.
  • Hub communicates on the basis of half-duplex mode,Which means at a time a computer can either transmit or, receive but  can not do both simultaneously.
  • Hub has singe collision domain.  
  • Hub is also a multiport repeater.                                                                                                                                      
  • Hub is two types .These are active  hub and passive hub.
  • Active hub needs electricity and can regenerate signal.
  • Passive does not need electricity and can not regenerate signal.It simply receive and forward.

Difference between Hub and Switch

Hub is a networking device which operates on physical layer of the OSI(open system interconnection) model whereas switch is also a networking device but it operates on data link layer of the OSI model .Hub is purely hardware  but switch is a device which is the combination of both software and hardware.Hub supports broadcast transmission whereas switch supports Unicast, multicast and broardcast transmission .Hub is having single collision domain whereas Every port of Switch is separate collision domain.Transmission mode of hub is half-duplex whereas transmission mode of switch is full-duplex.Hub can do only forwarding whereas Switch can be able to do both forwarding and filtering.Hub can't store MAC (media access control) address where as switch stores MAC address.

What is POP3 and IMAP ? Difference between POP3 and IMAP.

POP3:- -POP3 stands for post office protocol   version 3. -It is a simple protocol with limited   functionality which is used for opening   remote e-mail boxes. -It is a pull protocol. -It is an application layer protocol. -A POP3 sever stores message for each   user until the user logs in using e-mail   client and downloads the message to   their  computer.Once the the message is   downloaded ,it(message) is deleted from   the server. -In POP3,you can access mail from a   single device.once you have downloaded   the mail to your desktop after it you can't   download the same message to your   laptop because the mail had deleted after   first download. -The transfer protocol of POP3 is   TCP(Transmission control protocol).Post   office protocol version 3 uses TCP for   communication and It uses T...

Differences between TCP and UDP

TCP vs. UDP  -TCP stands for transmission control   protocol whereas UDP stands for user   datagram protocol. -Tcp is a reliable and connection-oriented   Transport protocol whereas UDP is a less   reliable and connection-less protocol. -In tcp , Error control is   mandatory.because checksum is used at   the end of the TCP to detect errors   whereas error control is optional in case   of UDP . -TCP is comparatively slower than UDP. -The header size of TCP is 20-60 bytes   whereas header size of UDP is 8 bytes . -TCP doesn't supports broadcasting   whereas UDP supports broadcasting . -TCP is used by SMTP,FTP,HTTP,HTTPs   etc, whereas UDP is used by DHCP,DNS etc .
