Switch Architecture

The TigerSwitch employs a high-speed switching fabric. This design allows for simultaneous transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. It also uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. In this mode, the entire packet must be received into a port buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

This TigerSwitch can be used in a standalone configuration, or can be stacked up to four high to form a single logical switch with up to 104 ports. When stacked, the 9.6 Gbps stack backplane provides enough bandwidth for the most demanding environment. Moreover, you can use a 100 Mbps single-mode fiber module for connecting to a remote site, or a Gigabit module for a high-speed backbone connection.
