In the topology illustrated in Figure 4, an AT-FS705E FC is used to connect together four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet hubs. Here the switch functions as a bridge between the different workgroups by controlling the flow of data between the workgroups. The switch transfers an Ethernet frame from hub to hub only when the destination node for the frame is on a different hub than the node that originated the frame. This reduces the amount of unnecessary data traffic in each workgroup. This frees up bandwidth and improves network performance.
