What is Hub, types, bridge, gateway?

Hub:- A hub is basically a multiport repeater A hub connects multiple wires coming from different branches, for example, the connector in star topology which connects different stations. Hubs cannot filter data, so data packets are sent to all connected devices, they do not have the intelligence to find out the best path for data packets which leads to inefficiencies and wastage. Types of Hub Active Hub: These are the hubs that have their own power supply and can clean, boost, and relay the signal along with the network It serves both as a repeater as well as a wiring center. These are used to extend the maximum distance between nodes.  Passive Hub: These are the hubs that collect wiring from nodes and power supply from the active hub. These hubs relay signals onto the network without cleaning and boosting them and can't be used to extend the distance between nodes. Intelligent Hub: It works like active hubs and includes remote management capabilities. They also provide flexible ...
