Abstract

Ethernet switching is an important networking technology that breaks the bandwidth bottleneck in the LAN environment. This technology is being feverishly exploited for the implementation of Intranets in Corporate America. In the long term, Ethernet switching will be the enabling technology for SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) implementation in the 21st Century. An Ethernet switch implemented with the latest VLSI technology, offers the best performance at the lowest cost. In the next 25 years, the development of VLSI Ethernet switch chips should parallel to the development of microprocessors of the past three decades
