How we know that our LAN or any network is using switch or a hub by using packet sniffing tools.
 

Re: Packet Sniffing

i can't clearly understand your question, packet sniffing tools can be used to see the contents of the packets passing through the network like (ip,port,protocol etc)

i don't think it can be used to determine a hub/switch is present on the network, since both don't disturb the packet contents
