My friend just recently came up w/ something.. I'm just wondering if you stack the switch togeter, say.. you have 2 5 port 10/100 switch, hook one up to the other's uplink port, then you have 8 port total rite (5 and uplink is shared) And say, you fill all ports, now.. say everyone from switch#1 is tring to grab files from some comptuer on switch #2, that way ALL trffic from switch #1 have to go through the uplink port to get to switch #2, wouldn't it slows down because all the traffic must go though that one single cable/port?
As far as I know from my networking knowledge (I know very little), a switch doens't get effected by it because it'll treat it as a same coullision domain, but each comptuer is still on it's own network domain.. but well.. anyone?
