The speed of Hub higher than actual

Hi Guys can you please help me with this question. Why is the speed of the NICs and HUBs much higher than the actual speed that the network monitoring tool reports.

What exactly did you ask for? A little more info.

the connected rate is never the same as the actual transfer rate.
Example of Oxymoron: Person who is pro life and anti sex education. Education is key to prevention. Prevent conception you prevent abortion. Abstinence training clearly isn't working.

Why is the speed of the HUBs much higher than the actual speed when measured with a network monitoring tool. example of network monitoring tool is CV31

I'm not really sure what it is you're asking. That's a very poorly phrased question.
If you are asking what I think you're asking, when measuring bandwidth a certain portion of allocated bandwidth is taken up by overhead. So, if you have say, a 100 Mbps connection. Even when it's usage is maxed out, you're not likely to see more than 80 Mbps used at any one time as the rest is taken up in overhead.

What i mean is that there is a network monitoring tool called CommView it's used to measure the bandwidth of a network and when the bandwidth is measured it doesn't display the same speed as advertised on the hub.

Ok, that's what I thought you meant. See my reponse above...it explains why what it's rated for, and what you actually get, aren't the same.

Summary: Given that there are approximately 12 bits sent for every byte (8 bits) of data sent, you are getting about a .4Mb/sec transfer rate (2,097,152/60 x 12 = 419,430 bits/sec). That does seem kind of slow...
Summary: As far as I know... you cannot split an ethernet connection. A device (such as a computer) first establishes that it has a connection on the line (hence the link light) and then tests if it is clear t...
