SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies that routers, hubs, and switches sold in the USA and Europe primarily differ in voltage specifications, while their Ethernet, ATM, and ISDN interfaces are standardized internationally. This means that the core functionality and performance of these devices remain consistent across regions. Users should focus on voltage compatibility when purchasing hardware for different markets.
