Connecting Network Agent to a hub

At the simplest level, a network hub provides a central connection point for the segments in a network and the devices in those segments. The port to which the Network Agent machine connects is dependent on the type of hub. Some hubs broadcast traffic to all of their ports, while others do not.

Network Agent must be able to see the traffic for the network segment(s) it is assigned to monitor.
