Hub:
In computer networking, a hub is a small, simple, inexpensive electronic device that joins
multiple computers together. A hub joins multiple computers (or other network devices)
together to form a single network segment. On this network segment, all computers can
communicate directly with each other.
Host:
A host (network) is a computer or other device connected to a computer network. A
network host may offer information resources, services, and applications to users or
other nodes on the network. A network host is a network node that is assigned a network
address.
All servers are hosts, but not all hosts are servers. Any device that has established a
connection to a network qualifies as a host, whereas only hosts that accept connections
from other devices (clients) qualify as servers.
Switch:
A network switch is a small hardware device that centralizes communications among
multiple connected devices in one local area network (LAN). Stand-alone Ethernet switch
devices were commonly used on home networks many years before home broadband
routers became popular.
