Question : Problem: Difference between Routers, Switches and Hubs

Hi all,

I got a simple but important question for many I think :D

Actually I was into software but now interested in Hardware, so need to gather some information on lot of doubts that I have and here is the one from them.

Please help me out in my questions as it will be a great help for me from all.

What is the difference between a Router, Switch and Hub? If this all got the same functions then how come they got the different names? As per my understanding they all got the similar functionality. Please help.

Thank you,
mmKhan
