Abstract
In an example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system is described that includes a hub for routing data traffic between a first computing device and a second computing device. A detection device of the system detects a communication protocol between the computing devices. A switch of the system routes traffic directly between the computing devices when a first communication protocol is detected. When a second communication protocol is detected, the switch re-routes traffic of the first type from the first computing device back to the hub to convert the traffic of the first type to a second type and routes converted traffic directly to the second computing device.
