Hi there, What are the special features I should be looking for when buying an internet switch for our company, MPLS capabilities, latency- how big, etc, brand? We want to replace the current 3com hub. Thanks a lot, Calin
What's an "internet switch"? If you currently have a hub, and you're talking about *MPLS* capabilities, I'd suggest you have listened to too many buzzwords, and you should educate yourself some on the technology before making any purchasing decision.

Hi Steinar, Sorry, for connecting our company to the internet, it connects to the firewall and the internet router. Presently we have 3 com hub. Any ideas? Thanks, Calin
You haven't said anything about your requirements. *Why* are you replacing the 3com hub? If you only have one LAN on the inside of the firewall, any unmanaged switch (which are a dime a dozen) will do.

Any 10/100 switch will do as far as performance goes. A nice feature that comes in handy is 'port monitoring / mirroring'. Handy for troubleshooting connection problems etc.
