The operation for this pack is mainly centered on the ability to buffer packets. The IS420ESWBH5A pack is considered a level-one Ethernet switch and will have a continuous stream of multicast and/or broadcast packets that will buffer incoming streams and send them out upon complete reception. Please note that when multiple streams are coming in only one stream can be relieved at a time, all of the remaining streams will have to be buffered at a later time.
