HUB


Meaning of HUB in English

A local area network device that provides centralized relaying between connected devices. Unmanaged hubs broadcast incoming traffic to all hub locations, which only pick up the transmission if it is addressed to that specific site. Managed hubs route traffic from the originating machine directly to the destination, thereby significantly reducing LAN traffic. Most prepress shops have, or should have, migrated to managed hubs by now.
