Preface
Benefits of Switching
Ethernet switching technology has dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network. It puts configuration flexibility and bandwidth adaptability into the local workgroups where the majority of work is generated.
It further eliminates congestion problems inherent to the CSMA/CD protocol and improves predictable response time under heavy network loads. In the past, expensive routing equipment was used to reduce the congestion under heavy loads. Now, high performance switch gear is affordable and available in the compact, desktop units.
