So, if I know the destination addresses on each port in advance I can program it to behave like an L2 switch (with proper multicast even), and I can use code to reprogram it whenever the traffic pattern changes?
- darrin 1y agoThe L1 path can't do any address matching and you can't overlap sources - like Ghostbusters, no crossing the streams. You can source port 1 to ports 2-4 (multicast, but static and unidirectional) and you can change a bidir connection between pairs of ports. The signal gets replicated regardless of what's in the frame. It wouldn't be practical to make it behave quite like an L2 switch.
