  • This is an animated video that explains the difference between a hub, switch, and a router. It explains how a router works, how a switch works and how a hub works.
    This is the modem/router that I personally use (affiliate) amzn.to/2Ng9vsp
    Router recommendation (affiliate) amzn.to/3QUZi7V - This is a wifi router with a built-in switch that I recommend.

      @Tahmid alpha12 Hey there? So if I understand it correctly, this is the path of data (in a case I'm using switch):
      Computer → Switch → Router → Modem → Internet
      Am I right? Would appreciate your input. Thank you! :)

      @CoeusQuantitative The computer networking classes always include and must include these basics. The problem is they're usually skimmed through and done with no effort to visualize how these concepts actually work. It's also difficult for professors to be patient with concepts that are new to their students while the professors have been learning about it for years if not decades. But that's they're job and that's what they should do.

      sound just like the fossils of a people everyone hates to have a discussion with.
      Because of hit in the head out of touch thinking like yours so much potential is lost where many people could had gotten passionate about these subjects. If the course its taught with the ass, not even that, not even half assed, students will not search these out of curiosity they will search it out of desperation for believing that they are inferior in thinking for not understanding "such simple basics". If the teacher doesnt teach THE BASE of a subject with the same passion or interest as the rest of the course how the hell is that supposed to translate to an unknowing barely starting student on these topics. The teacher should lay the foundation THAT S WHY THEY ARE A FUCKING TEACHER. To teach and spark the motivation for the later courses. If they arent doing that might as well stop teaching when you are leaving people in the dark on such "simple" notions just because your ass is lazy to make it an interesting introduction. Fuck off mate

    Best explanation ever. You stick to the basics and avoided going too deep. This is how any complicated concept must be taught. Focus must be on getting the basics right and spark an interest of a learner. How the hub, switch, and router does their magic wasn’t important for this video and you dud great by not discussing that. If we want to know how they do it, we can always watch other videos that explains. 7 minutes well spent. You earned a subscriber.

  • @rikschaaf
    @rikschaaf Před rokem +22

    If you look at the OSI model, you could say that these devices that interconnect correspond to the following layers:
    - Router: layer 3 (network layer), where it routes packets based on IP addresses
    - Switch: layer 2 (data link layer), where it routes frames based on MAC addresses
    - Hub: layer 1 (physical layer), where it routes bits to all other connected devices
    There are also layer 4 (transport layer) and layer 7 (application layer) routers which are used in datacenters to route traffic for specific domain names to the correct machine, either based on the HTTP "Host" header when using layer 7 for plain text traffic or the TLS Server Name Indicator aka SNI when using layer 4 for secure traffic, like HTTPS.

    Thank you so much for this video! Your explanations are so clear and effective! I could never understand the differencies only by listening to professors or by just reading stuff. Thank you so much! Keep up the amazing work and keep helping people around the world!!!

    EXCELLENT TUTORIAL, everything a tutorial should be minus everything a tutorial should not be. It's Complete, Concise, Easy to Understand and Follow with no annoying, time-wasting yakity-yak! You got right to the point and stayed on point. I love it when that happens!!!.... all too rare, though. You should do a tutorial on how to do a tutorial! Thanks for the GREAT info and the SUPERB delivery!!!

    Powercert you've done it again. When my other resources fail to illustrate how things work in a cohesive way that paints a picture at a macro level, you always clear the fog with ease.
