No hubs/switches/routers allowed on MITnet
A hub is designed as anything that converts one UTP connector to many UTP connectors. A switch counts as a hub for MITNet purposes. Routers (Cable/DSL routers,= "broadband routers", or anything else that does routing or NAT) are prohibited from MITNet as they interfere with the operation of the network.
