Network Aggregation Plan
With 24 or 48 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 or 48 distinct collision domains), a
switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node,
increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are providing 1000 Mbps
connectivity through Layer 2 switches. In addition, the switches are also connecting
several servers at 1000 Mbps.
