Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hub operates at the physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model and broadcasts any data it receives to all connected devices, without any regard for the destination address. Therefore, a hub is a basic device that simply connects multiple devices to create a network. Bridges, routers, and gateways operate at higher layers of the OSI model and make decisions based on destination addresses, allowing for more efficient and secure communication within a network.
