"less-expensive" switch hardware

[Warren Togami]

Whoa, according to this spec sheet this switch is in fact "Store and
Forward".  This seems too good to be true.  $200 for 16 port unmanaged,
store-and-forward and 5.8Gbps backplane.

I have had good experiences with the SMC EZ FDT series of switches, that are
considerably cheaper than even Linksys.  This data spec sheet claims 5.8Gbps
backplane, though I haven't tested it beyond 2Gbps with squid load testing.
