当制造商们开始展出他们的第一批Gigabit以太网产品的时候,Gigabit路由交换器正在迅速地崛起。它的功能更强,成本更低。随着传输带宽的巨大增长以及各公司为减少网络上运行的协议数量所做的不懈努力,Gigabit路由交换器有望打入组合网络中。专家说:“这些交换器的优点是它们非常有吸引力。有了高密度的交换,再加上针对IP优化 Gigabit routers are rapidly emerging as manufacturers begin to showcase their first Gigabit Ethernet products. It’s more functional and less costly. With the tremendous growth in transmission bandwidth and the unrelenting efforts companies have made to reduce the number of protocols that operate on the network, Gigabit route switches are expected to penetrate the combined network. Experts said: "The advantage of these switches is that they are very attractive.High-density exchange, coupled with IP optimization
