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.
NOTE: For customers interested in D-View, D-Link Corporation's proprietary
SNMP management software, go to the D-Link Website (www.dlink.com) and
