Network switches work similar to routers because
they both copy information from one area of the network to the other. However,
network switches contain multiple ports for copying frames of information from
one port to the other. Like
routers, switches operate within the layers of a network and evaluate every
frame before determining the port in which the frame should be copied. Network
switches are more sophisticated then their predecessor the network hub, which
copied all frames to all ports instead of determining individual destinations.
This required more bandwidth than what is required with network switches.
