1. Introduction
Driven by recent advances in desktop computing technology, today’s network applications have grown speed, power and the ability to pro- cess information. To meet the demands of these more powerful applica- tions, the switch has been developed to alleviate congestion and im- prove performance on your Ethernet network. The switch comes with multiple ports, with each capable of transmitting or receiving informa- tion simultaneously at full wire speed to control and allocate the net- work bandwidth.
