Switch of Servers
With client/server applications, many client workstations may attempt to access a single server at the same time. This traffic pattern may create bottlenecks at the server. To further enhance performance, the SmartStack
Even better performance can be achieved by installing multiple adapters in the server. By connecting these adapters to the switch, multiple 16 Mbps paths to the server are created, a solution that is only possible when using a switch.
The switch ties together all Token Ring devices lined to a local wiring center. In networks, where a significant portion of the traffic moves locally between client and server, the switch can be very effective.
Switch of Hubs
When network traffic increases beyond the capability of hubs, contention results. Applications suffer and may even fail. The net effect of such a network configuration is that all devices share a single 16 Mbps data path, thus reducing overall network efficiency. The SmartStack
