People used to use hubs over switches because switches were much more expensive than hubs, but nowadays it's pretty standard to get a switch if you have several devices on the network since they're both around the same price. dbhosttexas. February 13, 2013 4:14:00 PM.
In the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) communications model, a switch performs the Layer 2 or Data-link layer function. That is, it simply looks at each packet or data unit and determines from a physical address (the MAC address) which device a data unit is intended for and switches it out toward that device.n a wide area packet-switched network such as the Internet, a switch determines from the IP address in each packet which output port to use for the next part of its trip to the intended destination.
