These switches can be used to augment or completely replace slow legacy
routers, off-loading local IP traffic to release valuable resources for non-IP
routing or WAN access. With wire-speed performance, these switches can
significantly improve the throughput between IP segments or VLANs.

Switch Architecture
These Gigabit Ethernet switches employ a wire-speed, non-blocking
switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of
multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switches also feature
full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth
of each connection.
For communications between different VLANs, these switches use IP
routing. For communications within the same VLAN, they use
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.
