Hub

Hub: Generic term for any device which connects two or more computers or devices together on a network allowing them to communicate. The term hub is sometimes (incorrectly) used to refer to a switch, the difference being that a hub is a simple unintelligent repeater forwarding all incoming packets to everything on the network. cf router and switch.
