Network Switches

A network switch is a device that connects multiple computers and devices within a local area, such as an office or home. It efficiently directs data traffic by receiving data packets from one device and sending them only to the specific device they are intended for. This targeted approach reduces unnecessary traffic, improves network speed, and enhances security. Think of a switch as a smart traffic controller that ensures data moves smoothly and accurately between devices, helping networks run efficiently and reliably.
