Network Aggregation Plan

With 24 or 48 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 or 48 distinct collision

domains), a Gigabit switch stack can collapse a complex network down

into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and

throughput.

In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports in a stack of 48-port

Gigabit Ethernet switches are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity through

stackable switches. In addition, the switches are also connecting several

servers at 10 Gbps.
