Not really. Most only have a 1 or 2 Gbps backplane and you're talking about absurdly priced switches that have a backplane that will support full saturation on all ports.
- jws 15y agoI'm talking about a Netgear GS108Tv2, just because that what is sitting on my desk at the moment. It claims 16Gbps right there in the brochure. This is a notch above the lower end, it has a management interface, VLANs, QoS, port authentication, and a lot of other features from real switches. Of course it also claims lifetime warranty but somehow that doesn't work after 90 days, so maybe the 16Gbps is not true either. In a testament to their opinion of their product, Netgear will sell you a warranty that does work for a couple years for only a bit more than the cost of the switch itself.
