The TigerSwitch employs a high-speed switching fabric. This design 
allows for simultaneous transport of multiple packets at low latency 
on all ports. It also uses store-and-forward switching to ensure 
maximum data integrity. In this mode, the entire packet must be 
received into a port buffer and checked for validity before being 
forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout 
the network. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all 
ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. 

This TigerSwitch can be used in a standalone configuration, or can 
be stacked up to four high to form a single logical switch with up to 
104 ports. When stacked, the 9.6 Gbps stack backplane provides 
enough bandwidth for the most demanding environment. Moreover, 
you can use a 100 Mbps single-mode fiber module for connecting to 
a remote site, or a Gigabit module for a high-speed backbone 
connection.
