51 Why would a company install a switch instead of a hub when building or expanding a corporate network?
A switch manages frames faster than a hub does.

A switch operates at 100 Mbps. A hub operates at a maximum of 10 Mbps.

A switch modifies the Ethernet frame to remove any errors. A hub forwards the frame exactly as it arrived.
A switch provides more bandwidth by sending frames only out the port to which the destination device is attached. A hub sends the
frame out all ports except the source port.

them in CAM.
