How can I get more out of my Ethernet network?

If you find yourself asking this question then Ethernet switching may be your answer.
An Ethernet Switch is basically a bridge that allows multiple user transmission.

Fast Ethernet has specific distance limitations that can be a problem if your network has
many users. Switching overcomes these limitations because each port in the switch acts
separately from the others. Distance calcualtions start an ew at each port.

Switches also work on 10 Mbps networks.
