it's better to have pinged and dropped packets than to have never had network traffic at all.
or something.

Oh, man, that is SO wuss. 2MBit buffer = 256KByte / 8 ports = 32K / port, which will fill in 320 microseconds. Enjoy your collision light, 'cause it's gonna flash a lot...
By comparison, the NetGear FS-105 has 1.6MBit (200KB) per port. If you get collisions on this thing it's time to upgrade to Gigabit Ethernet.

NetGear 5-port w/1.6Mbits = ๊
How do you know the SkyLink doesn't have 2.0MBits per port?
------------------
Athlon 1.2 GHz @ 266 FSB = 贝.
FIC AD11 = 贍.
512MB PC2100 CAS2 = .
0wning more 0wnage than anything has ever 0wned before - priceless.
Price doesn't matter as long as it is under 200$. any advice?

From the Skylink advert:
2M Bits Embedded DRAM Packet Buffer
I know it's not per port because it doesn't say per port.
These guys are already inflating their numbers, as shown by their usage of "MBits" instead of KB. 2 mega-somethings sounds more impressive than 256 kilo-somethings (2MBit = 256K).
Cheap brands are famous for twisting their numbers to make it look more impressive.
ic0n0, I've played with both the Netgear and the Linksys broadband routers, and they both work very well. Buy the one that's on sale

That switch sucks more wang than jenna jameson in a fire house. I probably drops packets like a mexican running from a bear. You need one of these right .... < here > Ive got 2 and they havent done me wrong. I quote "3.2 gb aggregate bandwidth with up to 200mbps per port"

It depends on your preference. The linksys is really easy to setup and use. Its web administered and has a pretty, easy to use interface. The netgear is has a higher pps transfer rate and does more. Its administred through a command line. If your new to networking it gives you more stuff to screw up. I myself prefer the cisco version but its like 躔.

Ok so I read further through the documentation and found "memory buffer 128 kbytes per port" WTF? Those two numbers were in the same document and they directly contradict each other...
oh well the switch r0x0rs like LA on a seismic day.
