..my _guess_ is that the "hub" part matters, in the old days,
hubs worked the same way as coax wire, _all_ signals are|were
seen by all nics on the coax or in all hub ports, with whatever
that meant of packet loss and packet collisions and other such
mayhem. On top of that, a decade or so back, we had these fun
"unmanaged switch"|"managed hub" etc confusion_s_ going on and
on, which had a lot of people throw away good gear as bad, etc.
Part of the reason I measure my success by smoke volume. ;o)

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
