Description: Distributed switching involves multiple switches working together to efficiently manage data traffic across a network. This approach allows switches to collaborate in making decisions about data routing, optimizing resource use, and improving transmission speed. Unlike centralized switching, where a single switch controls all traffic, distributed switching spreads the load across multiple devices, reducing bottlenecks and enhancing network resilience. Each switch in a distributed system can operate independently but can also communicate with other switches to coordinate data flow. This architecture is particularly useful in large and complex networks, where the volume of traffic can be overwhelming for a single device. Additionally, distributed switching facilitates scalability, allowing organizations to add more switches as their network needs grow. In summary, distributed switching is a modern solution that enhances the efficiency and flexibility of networks, adapting to the evolving demands of data traffic.
