网络交换机在高效快速地将数据从一处传送到另一处中起着关键作用。层级2交换机主要处理数据链路层的流量，通过MAC地址进行转发；层级3交换机则结合了路由功能，基于IP地址进行包转发；层级4交换机能识别应用协议，实现基于应用重要性的流量管理和优先级设定，提供更高级别的安全性。

With the rapid development of computer networks over the last decade, high-end switching has become one of the most important functions of a network for moving data efficiently and quickly from one place to another. For years, the average network has been dominated by the Layer 2 switch. Now as network complexity increases and applications demand greater functions from the network, Layer 3 and layer 4 network switches are coming out of the data center and high level enterprise settings. This post will introduce them respectively.

What Is A Network Switch?

A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, officially MAC bridge) is a computer networking device that connects devices together on a computer network by using packet switching to receive, process, and forward data to the destination device.
