What's the difference between a switching and non-switching hub?

• Switches are not simply Dual Speed Hubs! The difference stems in the manner in which information is transmitted across the network, and how efficiently data is routed to its destination.
• A Switch or Switching Hub, when transmitting data to a destination for the first time, sends the data and waits for the intended receiver to accept it. Once it does this, the switch 'remembers' its network address. Subsequent packets of information for the same machine are sent directly to it without having to announce to all computers on the network that there is information coming. This lowers the unnecessary network traffic and makes the whole operation more efficient, and ultimately speeds up your network.
