The switching center in our datacenter is by far our most state-of-the-art. Our core router is a Net Gear RO318 router with a built-in firewall that providing eight ports of full wire-speed switched 100 megabit access. This allows several nodes to be configured to route through our high-end backbone. Our second-level switching facility consists of a Dell 2025 Gigabyte switch which provides switched layer2/3 full-duplex Gigabyte ports.
