a switch and a hub are two different devices with different capabilities no matter what some people call them
A switch has one collision domain per port and a hub is one collision domain for the whole unit (big difference). All traffic on a hub is presented to all ports. In a switch only thetraffic destined for your computer appears at at your port (except for bradcast messages).
