At low cost of hardware these days (5 port 10/100 switch for on the order of $15) and a switches generally being preferred over hubs for performance reasons, I expect you are right that a hub will be hard to find. Can you tell me why a hub would be preferred over a switch in this situation?<br>

If you don't mind, would you please follow up with an overview<br>
