Release time:
2024-06-18
Switches can be divided into different dimensions:
switches can be divided into the following according to different dimensions
- According to hardware form: box switch (fixed port, suitable for access layer) and box switch (modular design, support core layer expansion);
- According to the transmission speed: 100 Gigabit, Gigabit, 10 Gigabit switches, to meet the different bandwidth needs from home to data center;
- By application layer: access layer (terminal device connection), aggregation layer (traffic aggregation), core layer (high-speed switching and routing);
- Protocol layer: Layer 2 switches (based on MAC address forwarding) and Layer 3 switches (IP routing).
For example, Gigabit switches are suitable for small and medium-sized business office networks, while 10 Gigabit switches are used in high-performance computing clusters to ensure large-scale data transmission efficiency.
