Definition Switch

Usually switches are widely used for LAN network token star. And this switch is used as a repeater / amplifier. Serves to connect the UTP cables (Category 5 / 5e) one computer to another computer. In switches typically are routing, routing itself serves to jump stone to connect with other computers in the LAN. Switch is a smart hub that has the ability to determine the destination MAC address of the packet. Rather than miss a packet to all ports, the switch forwards it to the port where he addressed. Thus, the switch can drastically reduce network traffic. Switch maintains a list of MAC addresses that are connected to the port-port that it uses to determine where to send the package. Because it operates on the MAC address instead of the IP address, the switch is generally faster than a router.
