1.3.2 Bridging Example

In this example, the NSW connects different company departments (RD and Sales) to the corporate
backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All
users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the NSW. You can
provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet/mini-GBIC port on the NSW.
Moreover, the NSW eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize
multiple servers at a single location.
