You and a friend decide to set up Fast Ethernet networks in your respective houses to connect a half-dozen computers at each location. Both of you will connect your networks to high-speed Internet connections. As the connectivity device for end nodes, you purchase a router, whereas your friend uses an old, but functional, 12-port hub he found at a garage sale. Which of the following will your network do that your friend’s network won’t do?

a. Filter traffic based on IP address.

b. Transmit data from any one of the connected computers to any other.

c. Create a VLAN out of some of the computers to isolate their transmissions and prevent them from affecting other connections.

d. Allow other connectivity devices to be added to the network in the future.
