Layer 2 Switching and Bridging
Any look at network switching concepts will ultimately lead to a discussion about network bridging, and vice versa. At the end of the day, the roles played by a bridge and a switch are more or less identical – they help to break a network up into a number of smaller collision domains. Recall from earlier in the series that a collision domain is simply a group of computers amongst which data collisions can occur. For example, when connecting systems using a hub, all systems are considered to be part of the same collision domain, since the hub will simply forward data out all ports, with no regard for where the actual destination host is located.

Switching from MS Office to Star Office – Should You?
It’s no wonder that interest is increasing in alternatives to Microsoft.
Many of Microsoft’s loyal customers are scratching their heads over the new licensing plan that requires an annual fee from product users. In return for additional fees, customers have the opportunity to purchase support agreements at reduced rates. Not only are “purchasers” suddenly transformed into “subscribers,” but they must also commit to purchasing upgrades far in advance.
Does that seem fair? Quite a few Microsoft customers don’t think so. And it’s pretty clear why they don’t – not only do they need to purchase software, but now they have to pay to use it every year, and as a reward they get a discount on a service they more than likely don’t use anyway.
