ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100 Switch Architecture The TigerSwitch 10/100 employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. Switching Method The switch uses store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must

OVERVIEW Spanning Tree Protocol The TigerSwitch 10/100 supports IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol. This protocol adds a level of fault tolerance by allowing two or more redundant connections to be created between a pair of LAN segments. When there are multiple physical paths between segments, the protocol will choose a single path and disable all others to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network. This prevents the creation of network loops. However, if th

ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 10/100 Multicast Switching Specific multicast traffic can be assigned to its own VLAN to ensure that it does not interfere with normal network traffic and to guarantee real-time delivery by setting the required priority level for the designated VLAN. The switch uses IGMP Snooping and IGMP to manage multicast group registration. Traffic Priority This switch provides Class of Service (CoS) by prioritizing each packet based on the required level of service, using four dis
