Always a pleasure to be educated Jonathan. Thanks.

If I may venture a question, what is the advantage of a hub or switch having 
buffer memory? (Do hubs have buffer memory?). Is it in case packets are 
transmitted more quickly than the receive can pick them up? Or is it in case 
more than one source is trying to send to the same receiver?
