3.3 Application
A switch can be used to overcome the hub-to-hub connectivity limitations as well as
improve overall network performance. Switches make intelligent decisions about where
to send network traffic based on the destination address of the packet. As a result, the
switch can significantly reduce unnecessary traffic.
The example below demonstrates the switch ability to segment the network. The
number of nodes on each segment is reduced thereby minimizing network contention
(collisions) and boosting the available bandwidth per port.
With Management function of the switch, network administrator is easy to monitor
network status and configure for different applications.
