Switch Operation

Simultaneous Network Communications

In addition to traffic isolation benefits provided by the Switch 208/224 address table operation, the switch also enhances network performance because it can conduct multiple, simultaneous network connections. In the case of the Switch 224T, with its 26 ports, it can have up to 13 separate network connec- tions going simultaneously. Instead of sharing the network bandwidth, as in connections to a hub, each connection has its own 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s bandwidth to use.
