Switched Networks

Switched Networks

     

Networks are getting more and more popular, and because of this more people use them, which slows them down.  Networks in the future will need to have enough bandwidth to support applications, like multimedia, witch require larger bandwidth.  Switching will change the way networks are designed.  These changes will maximize productivity.
     Switching technology is increasing the efficiency and speed of networks.  This technology is making current systems more powerful.  Many networks are experiencing bandwidth shortages.  There are several reasons for this including: an increase in traffic, because networks have so many users, Amount of data between client/server applications, and the inefficient traffic patterns of most networks.
     Switching directs network traffic in a very efficient manner.  It sends information directly from the port of origin directly to its destination port.  Switching increases network performance, enhances flexibility and eases moves, add-ons and changes.  One of the benefits of switching is that it maintains a direct line of communication between two ports, and maintains multiple simultaneous links between various ports.  It reduces network traffic by reducing media sharing.
This technology has some benefits over ethernet routed networks. First, a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps shared media can be changed to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps of dedicated bandwidth. Routers have many devices attached to their ports, sharing the bandwidth. Switches let you to connect either a shared segment of bandwidth (workgroup) or a dedicated one (server) to each port. Second, this can be done without changing any software or hardware already on the workstations Finally, a switch installation is less complex than a bridge/router configuration.
A ethernet LAN runs at 10 Mbps. Stations attach through a hub or repeater.  Every station can receive transmissions from all of the stations, but only in a half-duplex. This means that statio...
