If I were corporate and the LAN/SAN were the limit I'd see about
gigabit networking or optical networking. But then again, all my machines, except for a few from the Closet of Anxieties with 800Mhz 32-bit/1GRAM are 64-bit. For office networks, 1GigE has long been the norm With the cost of networking gear these days, even 1G at home is common. I recently picked up a 5 port managed gigabit switch for about $30. Computers have come with Gb NICs for years. Keep in mind the packet forwarding rate on early or cheap gigabit switches may not be up to snuff. Pays to shop the fine print.
It's a TP-Link TL-SG105E which, according to the specs, has a 10 Gb/s switching capacity. I bought it to use as a "data tap" by setting up port mirroring. This allows me to use Wireshark to monitor Ethernet connections.
Forgot to mention, the packet forwarding rate is 7.4 Mp/s. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
