LAN switching : LAN switching enables the multiple users to communicate with each other directly. LAN switching provides the collision-free network and high-speed networking.
The main advantages of LAN switching :
Increased network scalability : LAN switching can handle the increasing amount of work. Therefore, we can say that when the business grows, the network can expand easily.
No single point of failure : LAN switching provides the proper network designing. Therefore, there are fewer chances of network failure.
Improved bandwidth performance : We require higher bandwidth performance when users operate multimedia applications or some database interactions.
Multiple simultaneous connections : LAN switching allows multiple simultaneous connections, i.e., it can transfer the multiple data at the same time. This cannot be possible in the case of a hub-based network.
Allows full duplex data transmission : LAN switching allows full duplex data transmission, i.e., the data can be transferred in a bidirectional line at the same time.
Reduced congestion and transmission delay : LAN switching improves the performance of a network as a segmented network consists of fewer hosts per subnetwork and thus, minimizing the local traffic.
