交换机及路由器工作原理（Switch and router working principle） 1. Overview Switching technology is a kind of switching product with simplified, low cost, high performance and high port density. It embodies the complex switching technology of Bridge Technology in the second layer operation of OSI reference model. Like the bridge, the switch forwards the message simply relative to the MAC address in each packet. This forwarding decision generally does not take into account the deeper information hidden in the package. Unlike the bridge, the forwarding delay is very small, and the operation is close to the performance of a single LAN, far exceeding the forwarding performance of the common bridged interconnect network. Switching technology allows shared and dedicated LAN segments to be bandwidth adjusted to mitigate bottlenecks in the flow of information between lans. Now there are Ethernet, fast Ethernet, FDDI and ATM technology switching products. A switch can economically divide a network into smaller conflict domains, providing higher bandwidth for each workstation. The transparency of the protocol allows the switch installed in the multi protocol network directly in the software configuration simple cases; switches use existing cables, repeaters, hubs and workstation card, does not need high-level hardware upgrades; the switch is transparent to the workstation, so the management overhead is low, simplifies the increase, mobile and Internet Network node operation. By using specially designed integrated circuits, the switches can forward the information in parallel at all ports on the line speed, providing much higher performance than the traditional bridge. Application specific integrated circuit technology makes the switch run at more ports, and its port cost is lower than the traditional bridge. Two or three switching technologies 1. port switching Port switching technology first appeared in the slot in the hub, the hub of the backplane are generally divided into a plurality of
