Switching LAN technology is a marked improvement over
the previous generation of network bridges, which were
characterized by higher latencies. Routers have also
been used to segment local area networks, but the cost of
a router and the setup and maintenance required make
routers relatively impractical. Today’s switches are an
ideal solution to most kinds of local area network
congestion problems.
