Networks
Hardware
- NIC (Network Interface Card) - A device that allows a node to connect to a network.
- Switch - This device sends the packets to the correct destination
- A SWITCH IS UNLIKE A HUB
- Hub - A now obsolete device considered 'stupid', as it broadcasts all data to all devices, causing security issues
- WAP (Wireless Access Point) - Allows devices to connect to the network WIRELESSLY
- Your standard home hub given by your ISP typically contains a combination of a modem, router, switch and WAP.
