Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over the previous
generation of network hubs and bridges, which were characterized by higher
latencies. Routers have also been used to segment local area networks, but
the cost of a router, the setup and maintenance required, make routers
relatively impractical. Today switches are an ideal solution to most kinds of
local area network congestion problems.
