networking switches
What is networking switches?
Networking switches are hardware devices that connect multiple devices on a computer network by forwarding data packets to the correct destination device. They operate at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, using MAC addresses to determine the destination. Switches are commonly used to create local area networks (LANs) and connect them to other networks, including the internet. They improve network efficiency by directing traffic only to the intended recipient, reducing collisions and improving bandwidth utilization compared to network hubs.
