Technical Insight

The TL‑LS1008G is a Layer‑2 store‑and‑forward unmanaged switch. It accepts, buffers, and inspects all frames to forward—offering consistent performance even during excessive network traffic. It can manage severe traffic surges because of its 4K MAC address table and 1.5 MB packet buffer. It delivers smoother throughput for high-bandwidth applications like file transfers and backups by supporting jumbo frames up to 16 KB.
