Repeaters are for Ethernet. Concentrators are for FDDI. | |||||

| 2864.3 | "Concentrator" may = "hub" | FOUNDR::OUIMETTE | Eyes of the World | Mon Oct 16 1995 16:50 | 10 |
FWIW, many companies (Synoptics/Bay comes to mind) use the term
"concentrator" to mean "hub", as in the Lattisnet 3000 concentrator.
Even within DEC I've heard "hub" and "concentrator" used
interchangeably (though not in this notes conference, heaven forbid! :^).
To be safe, if I'm talking in a general networking context, I say
"hub" for hub, and "FDDI Concentrator" for *FDDI* concentrator.... This
keeps me interoperable in a multi-vendor environment... :^)
