Abstract
A system includes a first networking devices, a multiplexer, a second networking device, and a third networking device. The first networking device includes a pair of ports operational up to a first throughput. The multiplexer includes an input port connected to a port of the first networking device, and a pair of output ports. The second networking device includes an output port connected to a port of the first networking device and to an output port of the multiplexer, and operational up to a second throughput greater than the first throughput. The third networking device includes an output port connected to an output port of the multiplexer, and operational up to a third throughput no greater than the first throughput.
