Err,

Not all hubs mirror "repeat" all traffic to all ports.

Ever heard of an itelligent hub ?


Yeah, I've heard of and used them.  The only difference I know of,
though, is that the intelligent hubs have management capabilities via
SNMP. 

I'm starting to recall some old Cabletron hub technology that could
set filters to block broadcast traffic.

Okay, I stand corrected 8-)
