A hub is used to send the message from one port to other ports. It does not know the specific address of the destination where the message needs to send. it works on Physical layer of the OSI model (layer 1).

A switch can handle data and it knows the specific address of the destination. A switch works on the data link Layer of the OSI model (layer 2).
