Hub or switch?
Without looking further at your post "hub" is a word that leaps out  
at me & jumps up & down.

A hub will broadcast packets to all its ports, and if more than one  
connection is made through it simultaneously then collisions will  
cause it to saturate at well below its headline speed (like 20mBit).  
A switch directs packets only to the port which responds to them, so  
full bandwidth communications can take place between multiple computers.
