Ethernet
* Use a switch instead
of a hub. Hubs blindly
transmit traffic from all
ports to all other ports
increasing the
likelihood of LAN
congestion (for
example, Ethernet
collisions). Switches
intelligently segregate
the traffic so that each
port does not need to
compete with other
ports for LAN
bandwidth.
