    QUESTION 1
    Can a device with a Gigabit Ethernet card communicate via a standard Ethernet hub?.. Explain

    QUESTION 2
    Describe using an example the effect of plugging an Ethernet hub into an Ethernet switch port.

    QUESTION 3
    Using diagrams for a hub based network and a switch based network, explain the difference between an Ethernet collision domain and an Ethernet broadcast domain.

    QUESTION 4
    Consider a multi-access Ethernet network where one host has an adapter that does not back off after detecting a collision. Describe how this would affect the communication performance for the other hosts.

    Any help in answering these would be great or even links to sites with some useful information will be appreciated.

    Thanking You

    So what are your guesses at the answers, and we'll tell you whether you're right or not:) Q's 1 - 2 should be fairly easy to find out about, Q 3 might take a bit of research, and Q 4 is answerable if you understand the basics
