What's the difference between these common network devices?

Asked by skorned (97points) May 25th, 2009

Hey. I’m preparing for the IGCSE 10th grade exams, and wanted to know 1 line definitions/descriptions of common network devices like hubs, routers and switches, and what the difference between them is. Like for example, a router is a smart switch which distributes bandwidth only between computers that are on and need it. (that may not be true, idk)
