  • Page 5: Ethernet Switching Technology

    Ethernet Switching Technology Ethernet Switching Technology dramatically boosted the total bandwidth of a network, eliminated congestion problems inherent with Carrier Sense multiple access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol, and greatly reduced unnecessary transmissions. This revolutionized networking. First, by allowing two-way, simultaneous transmissions over the same port (Full-duplex), which essentially doubled the bandwidth.
