Configuring the 100/10 Ethernet Adapter
Switched Hubs
In a switched network environment, each port uses a fixed,
dedicated amount of bandwidth. Network bandwidth is not shared
among all stations. Each new station added to the hub receives
access to the full bandwidth of the network. Data is sent only to the
port that leads to the correct workstation.
If a new workstation is added to a 100 Mbps switching hub, the
new workstation receives its own dedicated, 100 Mbps link that
does not affect the 100 Mbps bandwidth of other workstations.
Switching hubs can effectively increase the overall bandwidth
available on the network, significantly improving performance.
