Bridging Example

For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed, the switch is an ideal solution for
department users to connect to the corporate backbone. Used as segment switch, the switch can alleviate user
contention for bandwidth and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All ports can connect to high-speed
department servers that need high bandwidth. The switch provides parallel communications within its Gigabit port,
which can run up to 2000 Mbps at full-duplex mode.
The switch makes key servers available to more users by allowing multiple conversations to occur concurrently,
thereby significantly expanding overall network throughput. Moreover, the switch eases supervision and
maintenance by allowing network manager centralize multiple servers at a single location.
