My understanding is that no one used hubs anymore, so your collision domain goes from a number of machines on a hub to a dedicated channel between the switch and the machine. There obviously won’t be collisions if you’re the only one talking and you’re able to do full duplex communications without issue.

Hubs still exist(ed), but nobody implemented half-duplex or CSMA from gigabit ethernet on up (I can't remember if it was technically part of the gig-e spec or not)

  Your comment is absolutely devoid of content. Admittedly, I’m no networking expert but it was my understanding that most installs now use switches almost exclusively. Are you suggesting otherwise? A quick search would seem to indicate I’m right. Do you mind elaborating on your snark?

    "No one" and "no new installations" are not the same. There are many many many millions of hubs out there in the world. The statement, as written, is just ludicrously naive, entirely disconnected from reality.
