Keypoints :
- A hub can be used in 2025 for traffic capturing between devices, acting as a low-cost alternative to a network tap.
- Using Wireshark, one can capture and replay voice conversations between VoIP phones using data captured by the hub.
- While hubs offer limited speed (typically 10/100 Mbps), they can still effectively capture traffic, especially for budget-conscious users in need of basic monitoring.
- Different codecs, such as G711 and G729, influence how voice data is transmitted over a network, affecting capture and replay quality.
- In modern usage, network taps are generally preferred over hubs, but hubs remain viable for certain low-budget applications.
