Gigabit Security Switches Deployment - A Review

Abstract

With the increasing users and services over the Internet, people demand faster data fetching and more reliable network services. However, the increasing network services and equipment causes the network management much more difficult. This is largely due to the increased size of networks and the requirement for increasingly faster and more efficient networks. In this paper, we discuss high available (HA) architecture for cost effective security switches. Security switch contains of a security switch engine (SSE) and a traditional layer-2 switch. They examine the packet content. These two components connected through a Gigabit Ethernet link. In this paper, we also discuss the types of switches. However, the majority of network administrators currently deploying gigabit networks will find that they are seeing far less than a full 100 Mbps of traffic moving over the wire. Even a standard PC with an off-the-shelf gigabit network card will be able to cope quite easily.
