Switching Technology Comparison
Centralized Switching
Catalyst 4500
• Dumb Line Card without capabilities to determine switching path
• All traffics MUST be processed by “Control Module”
• Switching performance relies on “Control Module”
• Packets always be transmitted back and forth between Control Module and Line Cards
V.S
Distributed Switching
• Intelligent Line Card with capability to determine switching path
• Synchronized switch/route information on Control Card and Line Card
• Layer 2/3/4 Local on board switching capability
• Fastest forwarding, near zero-wait
Product Overview
Drawback of Centralized Switching

All traffics MUST go through
control card even traffic in/out on
the same line card.
