The comms technical literature I have on the hardware generally calls
all hubs "hubs" - after all that's what they are isn't it - as in the
centre of a wagon-wheel?  All hubs these days are "switching hubs" to
which of course reduce the visibility of packets to third parties on the
LAN.  When you're in a hurry you say "switch" but it's still a hub.
