  • Page 7: Introduction

    NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of the Switch and some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology The growing importance of LANs and the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications are fueling the need for high performance networks. A number of high -speed LAN technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times.
  • Page 8: Switching Technology

    Switching Technology Another approach to pushing beyond the limits of Ethernet technology is the development of switching technology. A switch bridges Ethernet packets at the MAC address level of the Ethernet protocol transmitting among connected Ethernet or Fast Ethernet LAN segments. Switching is a cost-effective way of increasing the total network capacity available to users on a local area network.

    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 switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of local area network congestion problems. Features The Switch was designed for easy installation and high performance in an environment where traffic on the network...
