摘要: A network switch using information from OSI model Layers (2) and above can identify a particular sequence of messages that occur as result requested process, the called flow. The establishes virtual connection at (4) to route data packet according flow which belongs. performs application-level switching in higher layers differentiate between flows web browsing file transfer or database query, even though both may use same layer (3) protocol.
