"lol, I work at the other end of the stack, so I don't have to worry about things like collisions. A hub echoes all packets on all ports whereas a switch analyzes the traffic and intelligently picks which port to echo which packets on. A switch maintains a table of MAC addresses it has seen and what port they are on. When a packet hits the switch, it looks at the MAC address it is destined to, and only echoes the packet on the relevant port. If the switch has not seen the address, or if the packet is meant for broadcast, than the switch then echoes the packet on all ports. Higher end switches can further compartmentalize traffic into VLANs. This is something I have 0 experience with. Fun fact: you can overwhelm a switch's MAC table by spamming it with packets that appear to have come from unique addresses. When the table fills up, the switch will fail open and behave as a hub." - Nate
