Re: Intelligent switching technology.

Thanks for responding Brad. SPAN wasn't what I had in mind. I am
referring to a technology which makes switches not act like hubs in
that they no longer forward broadcasts through every port.

Switches were originally designed with solving the collision domain
problem and they succeeded marvelously. However, a few years later
some switch wizards decided they could also solve the broadcast domain
problem and thus the created the technology I am trying to explain.

My apologies for not doing a better job of explaning their use in my
original post.
