Suppose I have a switch that supports Gigabit Connections
and Auto Uplink
. Also, suppose that I have 4 clients (A, B, C and D), each with 100Mbps NIC's
connected to the Gigabit Switch
such that the max bandwidth from all clients is 400Mbps
.
Now I have a server with a 1Gbps NIC
connected to the switch. All clients access a resource on the server simultaneously.
My question is, can each client receive the resource on the server @ 100Mbps
speed, meaning that there is a total of 600Mbps
bandwidth remaining or is the 1Gbps
shared over 4 connections?
See drawing for the layout of network.
