If you don't care about performance, any computer can bridge multiple interfaces in software and behave like a switch.

- hinkley 6y ago15 years ago all of the better switches could internally handle the aggregate bandwidth of all of their ports. I assumed that would be standard now, but shopping for a switch recently I discovered I was wrong. We still have switches where you can’t max out all ports at the same time. I think you could still make one that doesn’t have that problem, but the memory would limit doing much smart switch work. If any.
