Switch Architecture
The TigerSwitch employs a high-speed switching fabric. This design
allows for simultaneous transport of multiple packets at low latency
on all ports. It also uses store-and-forward switching to ensure
maximum data integrity. In this mode, the entire packet must be
received into a port buffer and checked for validity before being
forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout
the network. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all
ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
This TigerSwitch can be used in a standalone configuration, or can
be stacked up to four high to form a single logical switch with up to
104 ports. When stacked, the 9.6 Gbps stack backplane provides
enough bandwidth for the most demanding environment. Moreover,
you can use a 100 Mbps single-mode fiber module for connecting to
a remote site, or a Gigabit module for a high-speed backbone
connection.
