The Definitive Guide to Network Architecture A core switch is a high-capacity, high-performance Layer 3 switch positioned at the physical backbone of an enterprise network. Engineered to aggregate massive volumes of data from distribution switches, it provides ultra-low latency and maximum. There are different types of enterprise switches that perform various roles in these layer-based or hierarchical ethernet networks. This model divides the network into three functional layers: the Access Layer, the Distribution Layer, and the Core Layer. The Access Layer sits at the edge, using.
