Network Aggregation Plan
With 50 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 50 distinct collision domains), a switch can
collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing
overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are providing 1000 Mbps
connectivity through Layer 2 switches. In addition, the switches are also connecting
several servers at 1000 Mbps.
