Description

Ethernet switches come in many sizes, shapes, speeds and levels of intelligence. However, the one facet of Ethernet switches that seems universal is growth. While a handful of antiquated nuisances are experiencing decline, the vast majority of the Ethernet switch market enjoyed a very nice recovery in 2004 and are expected to grow steadily over the next five years.

This exhaustive, 84-page report covers the entire Ethernet switch market with detailed market shares and forecasts for major Ethernet switch market segments including:

Layer 2, 3, 2/3, 4-7, and 2/3/4-7
Managed vs. Unmanaged
Fixed vs. Modular vs. Both
Fast Ethernet, GigE, and 10 GigE
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Broadband Router Ports vs. Standalone Switches
