Application Examples
The TigerSwitch 10G is not only designed to segment your network, but
also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections.
Some typical applications are described below.
Network Aggregation Plan
With 8 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 8 distinct collision domains), the
TigerSwitch 10G can collapse a complex network down into a single
efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 10GBASE ports are providing 10 Gbps
connectivity for up to 8 segments. In addition, the switch is also
connecting several servers at 10 Gbps.
