Switch

A switch is a networking device that connects multiple devices, allowing them to communicate efficiently. It maintains a table of device locations to send data directly to the intended recipient, unlike a hub that broadcasts to all devices. This targeted communication enhances network speed and performance.

Switch

A switch is a device used in computer networks to connect multiple devices, like computers and
printers, so they can communicate with each other. It’s smarter and more efficient than a hub.
Here’s why:
• How it works: A switch maintains a table that records where each device is located in the
network. This table helps the switch figure out exactly where to send the data.
• Direct delivery: Instead of sending the same message to all devices like a hub does, the
switch sends it only to the specific device it’s meant for. This makes communication faster
and more efficient.
• Faster network: By directly connecting the source (the device sending the data) and the
destination (the device receiving it), a switch helps speed up the network.
In short, a switch helps manage data flow in a network smartly and ensures that each device gets
only the information it needs, improving the overall performance.
