Network Hub - ANS ✓Device that connects multiple computers together.
*Broadcasts to all connected devices, even if message is intended for just one.
Network Switch - ANS ✓Device that connects multiple computers together.
**Able to broadcast to just one if message is intended for one, but has ability to
send message to all if needed.
Router - ANS ✓Used to connect multiple networks together.
**Has decision making abilities, can purposefully drop messages if message
traffic exceeds capacity. In the event multiple messages are sent, router can make

Circuit Switch Network - ANS ✓Requires full pathway (or circuit) to be
established and maintained during entire submission.
Ex: Phone network b/c path exists during entire conversation and
communication can be both ways.
Packet Switch Network - ANS ✓Message pathway established as it's sent. The
choice of the pathway is determined by network availability.
Ex: Message traffic.
Peer to Peer - ANS ✓Workstation in which each computer is equal to another.
*Cheaper than other types of servers and workstations.
Client-Server - ANS ✓Client is computer that will request info from another
computer (the server) .
The server takes requests and responds.
*More expensive than peer to peer.
BENEFITS: More storage=faster response time.
Virtual Machine - ANS ✓Allows access to multiple machines without having to
purchase multiple computers.
Also allows user to run software for a computer that normally would not be able
to run that software.
