If that 2.4Gbps aggregate throughput is correct, then it can provide
100Mbps to each port (100Mbps x 8 = 800Mbps). If that claim is correct. If
I were you I'd verify that. If you can get a demo unit, you can easily
test this claim: load all ports with 100Mbps-equipped PC's, then do
simultaneous FTP's between say PC1<-->PC2, PC3<-->PC4, etc. If you can get
10Mbytes/second (or close to it) on ALL the FTP sessions, THEN you are
getting the full bandwidth on every port. If you don't.. then that 2.4Gbps
claim is b.s.
