ABOUT THE TIGERACCESS SWITCH

This switch can enhance your network with full support for Spanning Tree Protocol, private VLAN port isolation, and bandwidth rate limiting. It brings order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs, and empowers multimedia applications with multicast switching and quality of service priority queueing.

Switch Architecture

This switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

For communications within the same VLAN, the switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be received into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the network.
