I never got a sticky :/

Hubs dont packet route BS. Thats the thing heh. They just spam it out to everyone, and who ever its for picks it up, the rest ignore it. Hehehe, reminds me of something that happened to me not long ago...

Was at a LAN party, someone had set their Ethernet card to force 100mbit when the hub was only a lowly 10mbit. Major data collisions and the hub practically killed itself and blinded us with its flashing lights hehehe...

Switches and routers send the packets directly to the person whom its for. In order of Uberness:

Router-->Switch-->Hub
