  3. Agenda • Driving Forces • LAN Switching Benefits • High-Speed Alternatives • Switching Considerations • Migration Case Studies

  4. The Desktop vs. the Network NetworkBandwidth MIPS • Performance increases in the processing power of PCs is doubling every 18 months • Bus improvementshave evolved rapidly • Networking hardwareevolves more slowly than PCs 10 Mbps Source: Intel

  5. New Peer-to-Peer Traffic • Distributed systems have forced an increase in server-to-server communications • Growth of desktop-to-desktop video, interactive applications and intranets

  6. 10/100BaseT Installed 100BaseT in Use New NIC Installations • NICs purchased are commonly 10/100 • Excess capacity allow users to explore new applications • 100M is limited by 10BaseT switches and hubs

  7. Network Traffic—Changing the Rules “The New 80–20 Rule” 80% Backbone • Server locations shifting • Server bandwidth performance increase • Latency reduction required • Multimedia applications • Multicast applications • Price/performance improvements required 20% 20% 80% Workgroup

  8. All Other Ethernet Ethernet Dominance • Why Ethernet dominance? • Scalability 10/100/1000 • Smooth migration • Network reliability • Network management tools and techniques • Low cost Dominance will Continue 1996 Shipments 1996 Installed Base Source: IDC

  11. Why Ethernet Switching? • Eliminates collisions • Increases bandwidth • Facilatates network control • Enables cost-effective migration to high-speed technologies • Matches traffic profiles

  12. CRASH Shared Resource • Excess Ethernet collisions • Sluggish network response • Increasing user complaints

  13. Switched Resource • Collision-free Ethernet • Quick network response • Increased user productivity

  14. A B C D Bandwidth Multiplier • Total bandwidth is 10 Mbps • Theoretical bandwidth is2.5 Mbps per host • Effective bandwidth <1 Mbps per host • Communication is half-duplex • Only one host at timemay transmit • There will be contentionfor bandwidth

  15. A B C D Bandwidth Multiplier—HDX • Total bandwidth is 40 Mbps • Theoretical bandwidth is5 Mbps per host • Effective bandwidth ~2-3 Mbps • Multiple hosts can transmit at the same time • Little contention for bandwidth • Contention for switch resources

  16. A B C D Bandwidth Multiplier—FDX • Total bandwidth is 40 Mbps • Average bandwidth is10 Mbps per host • Multiple hosts can transmit at the same time • No contention for bandwidth • Contention for switch resources

  17. Control to the Administrator • Shared Ethernet is inherently fair • 100% fairness not necessarily good • Some users are more important than others (VP vs. Secretary) • Switching can allow prioritization, multicasting, security, etc. PER USER

  18. Control to the Administrator • Per user visibility into switched network • Switch is capable of applying advancedpolicy (e.g. VLANs) • Traffic management features available on switch (broadcast suppression) • Security, multicasting, prioritization canbe implemented Sally VP Joe User SuperServer Cisco Systems Confidential 0661_03F7_c3 18

  19. Cost-Effective Switching to Higher Speeds • Preserves wiring investment • Preserves NIC investment • Preserves management infrastructure • Preserves installed application base • Allows for smooth migration

  20. Traffic Profiles—Symmetric • Provides switching between like bandwidths(10/10 Mbps or100/100 Mbps) • Suited forpeer-to-peer traffic 10 Mbps 10 Mbps 100 Mbps 10 Mbps

  21. Traffic Profile—Asymmetric • Provides switching between unlike bandwidths(10/100 switching) • High bandwidth where needed • Ideal for client-server traffic 10 Mbps 10 Mbps 100 Mbps 10 Mbps
