Routing Switches turbo-charge enterprise networks with Layer 2 (L2) switching, Layer 3 (L3) forwarding, and Layer 4 (L4) advanced features, all at wire-speed -- yet maintain the simplicity and aggressive price points of today's L2 switches. "Thanks to advances in silicon technology, today's customers are able to obtain wire-speed, low latency Low latency allows human-unnoticeable delays between an input being processed and the corresponding output providing real time characteristics. This can be especially important for internet connections utilizing services such as online gaming and VOIP - VOIP is not as important as L2, L3 and L4 performance benefits, at 10 megabit One million bits. Also Mb, Mbit and M-bit. See mega and space/time. , 100 megabit and gigabit speeds," said Steve Mullaney, vice president, Enterprise Marketing for Bay Networks. "This seminar will demonstrate how Routing Switches provide immediate, cost-effective performance gains for today's enterprise networks." The Routing Switch Technology Seminar is part of Bay Networks' Adaptive Networking initiative which allows companies to transition their networks to the IP-optimized networks of tomorrow. This seminar will focus on industry awareness, real-world implementations, and technical education. Specifically, it will demonstrate how Routing Switch technology provides wire-speed, low latency L2, L3 and L4 performance benefits at 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds for today's enterprise backbones. Presenters will include Nicholas J. Lippis III and Dr. James Metzler of Strategic Networks. Strategic Networks, one of the industry's leading consulting and testing firms, will evaluate the disparate Layer 3 switching methodologies found in the market today.
