| 1.1.6 | Symmetric switching
Symmetric switching is one way of characterizing a LAN switch according to the bandwidth allocated to each port on the switch. A symmetric switch provides switched connections between ports with the same bandwidth, such as all 10 Mbps or all 100 Mbps ports. A symmetric switch is optimized through even distribution of network traffic across the entire network.
