[ALUG] Comparison Between Cisco and Mikrotik Swithes/Routers

[Andreas Tauscher]

Another thing: Especally if you buy a thumb switch. Have a look on the backplane speed. It should be at least the speed of all ports together. If the switch has expansion slots the backplane speed must be the built in ports plus the maximum speed of the expansion slots. If it is lower the swich might become a bottleneck.
