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.
