Ethernet Switches are another fundamental part of many networks because they speed things up. There are many different types of switches and networks. Switches that provide a separate connection for each computer in a company’s local area network are called LAN switches.
A LAN switch creates a series of instant networks that contain only the two devices communicating with each other at that particular moment. Switching allows a network to maintain full-duplex Ethernet.
Before switching, Ethernet was half-duplex, which means that data could be transmitted in only one direction at a time. In a fully switched network information can travel from computer to switch and from switch to fileserver at the same time.
