Q1- What is the difference between a hub, a switch and a router?

Q2- Small network: In which scenario is there greater page loading delay (Client HTTP: Page Response Time packets/sec)?

Q3- Small network: Check other collected statistics and provide advice to network owner to either use hub or switch for this network (one paragraph).

Q4- Medium network: In which scenario is there greater page loading delay (Client HTTP: Page Response Time packets/sec)?

Q5- Medium network: Check other collected statistics and provide advice to network owner to either use hub or switch for this network (one paragraph).

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1) Hub: -

Switches:

Routers:

Ans 2) In a small network, latency can be the problem for a greater page loading delay.

Ans 3) For a small network where number of computer or devices restricted to 8, at that time hub can be a good option but if you have more than 8 computers in your network then switch will be the better option.

Ans 4) For a medium network, TCP congestion can lead to slow page loading as it is unable to load the page.

Ans 5) For a medium network, switch will be the best option. Because it supports near about 48 machines in your network, it has 1 broadcast domain and multiple collision domain. It works faster and better than Hubs.
