Introduction
	This section briefly describes several application examples for the PathBuilder S24x,
	26x, and 27x switch.
Performance
	Because of its high performance capabilities, the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x
Branch Nodes	switch can be employed in a variety of branch node applications. For example, the
	PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch can support a mix of voice and data types,
	traditional legacy (SDLC, X.25, Bisync, Async, etc.), and LAN. Because of its high
	throughput, the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch can be used in situations
	where large file transfers, fast response time, and high numbers of users are the
	norm. Figure 1-2is an example of a typical branch node application.
	Furthermore, the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch is designed to meet the
	needs of an expanding network. With its large RAM capacity and high-speed
	processor, the PathBuilder S24x, 26x, and 27x switch can easily adapt to a growing
	network with little or no additional hardware.
