The switch acts as a high-speed selective bridge between the
individual segments. Traffic that needs to go from one segment
to another is automatically forwarded by the switch, without
interfering with any other segments. This allows the total
network capacity to be multiplied, while still maintaining the
same network cabling and adapter cards.
Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the
previous
generation
of
network
bridges,
which
were
characterized by higher latencies.
Routers have also been
used to segment local area networks, but the cost of a router
and the setup and maintenance required make routers relatively
impractical. Today's switches are an ideal solution to most
kinds of local area network congestion problems.
