Network Aggregation Plan

With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), a Gigabit switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.

In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity through cascaded switches. In addition, the switches are also connecting several servers at 1 Gbps.
