Summary
Hubs connect devices on a local network but lack intelligence, broadcasting data to all ports. Switches are smarter, directing data only to intended devices by using MAC addresses. Routers connect different networks, forwarding data based on IP addresses. Hubs and switches manage local traffic, while routers handle external communication.
