Redundancy and Reliability: Core switches are built with redundancy features to ensure high availability and prevent downtime. This paper is part of the series “switching solutions“.

At an oil and gas pipeline monitoring station in the Taklimakan Desert, a ring network composed of 12 Ethernet switches is transmitting pressure and temperature parameters at a rate of 100,000 data points per second. In the intelligent transportation hub of Xiong'an New Area, traffic lights at 200. A Core Switch is a high-performance network switch designed to handle large amounts of data traffic, typically positioned at the center of a network, connecting different subnets, VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), or network areas. It serves as the hub for data transmission in the network. Redundancy refers to the inclusion of extra or backup equipment, such as switches, within the network to guarantee continuous network performance, even if one or more devices fail. In Cisco networks, this is often achieved by implementing protocols like Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Virtual. Importance of Line-Speed Switching:To eliminate network bottlenecks, switches must achieve line-speed switching, meaning their switching rate matches the transmission rate of the outgoing data. Throughput Calculation:Throughput (Mpps) = Number of 10 Gbps Ports × 14.
