**LAN Switching**

What is LAN Switching?

LAN switching is a network technology that operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. It uses hardware to forward data packets between network segments within a local area network (LAN). Switches learn the MAC addresses of connected devices and build a forwarding table to efficiently direct traffic only to the intended recipient, improving network performance and reducing collisions compared to older technologies like hubs. LAN switching is commonly used to create segmented networks, enhance bandwidth, and provide secure communication within organizations.
