This switch can enhance your network with full support for Spanning Tree
Protocol, private VLAN port isolation, and bandwidth rate limiting. It
brings order to poorly performing networks by segregating them into
separate broadcast domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs, and
empowers multimedia applications with multicast switching and quality of
service priority queueing.

Switch Architecture
This switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This
permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low
latency on all ports. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all
ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
For communications within the same VLAN, the switch uses
store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With
store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be received into a
buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents
errors from being propagated throughout the network.
