With an electronic patch panel or switch, you can manage hundreds of channels with simple programming.  Do you know the difference between a bank switch, switch matrix, and coordinate switch?  If not, read on.


What CPU speed is required for 1 Gb Ethernet?

The basic formula in the industry applicable to TCP/IP protocol is 1 MHz of CPU for each megabit of data and allowing for application processing. This equates to a 1-GHz CPU for a wire speed transfer in one direction or a 2-GHz CPU for a bi-directional transfer in full-duplex mode when using the TCP/IP protocol stack. Using other protocols including UDP/IP or direct-IP can provide better performance with lower CPU utilization.
