As used in this Agreement, the term prevailing party means that party whose position is upheld in a final judgment rendered in any litigation, or, if the final judgment is appealed, that party whose position is upheld by the decision of the final appellate body that considers the appeal.
However, the functions of a hub, switch and router are quite different, even if at times they are integrated into a single device. Routers connect two or more logical subnets, which do not necessarily map one-to-one to the physical interfaces of the router. The term layer 3 switch often is used interchangeably with router, but switch is really a general term without a rigorous technical definition. In marketing usage, it is generally optimized for Ethernet LAN interfaces and may not have other physical interface types.
A: A switch is a handy gadget that lets you add more wired devices to your network with ease. A network switch is as easy to operate as a light switch. Each device connected to the switch is automatically connected to everything else connected to the switch. So if you hook up your cable modem to a router, then connect the router to a switch, you can connect other devices to the Internet simply by plugging them into the switch. Itâs just that easy. Thatâs not all. A switch gives you the power to add devices to the network at your leisure. I like to connect a variety of devices on my desk at any given moment â network storage devices Iâm testing, game consoles Iâve borrowed from friends, or any of the various desktop PC builds scattered around my work space.
