Calculate Switching Capacity



Formula

The formula to calculate switching capacity is:

\[ \text{SC} = \text{PS} \times \text{PC} \]

What is Switching Capacity?

Switching capacity refers to the maximum amount of data that a network switch can process and forward in a given amount of time, typically measured in gigabits per second (Gbps). It is a critical specification for understanding the performance capabilities of a switch, especially in environments with high data traffic demands.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{SC} = 10 \times 24 = 240 \text{ Gbps} \]

The Switching Capacity is 240 Gbps.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{SC} = 1 \times 48 = 48 \text{ Gbps} \]

The Switching Capacity is 48 Gbps.
