Each 10Base-T/100Base-TX port can forward Ethernet minimum-sized 64-byte packets at the maximum attainable rate of 14,880 or 148,000 packets per second (pps).

The IntraSwitch fully supports the 802.1d transparent Ethernet bridging standard. IEEE 802.1d compliance provides automatic address learning, packet filtering, protection against corrupted frames and fragments, and the Spanning Tree Protocol.
