Abstract
A pair of ports of a first networking device operate up to a first throughput. An input port of a multiplexer connects to one of these ports, and the multiplexer also has a pair of output ports. An output port of another, second network device connects to one of the first networking device's and also to one of the multiplexer's output ports. These ports operate up to a second, greater throughput. An output port of yet another, third network device also connects to one of the multiplexer's output ports, and operates up to a third throughput no greater than the first throughput.
