In theory, no. In practice, they all use the internal switch bus, and you are depending on the implementation details of a random network switch chip from a far-away country. Maybe they can switch fine on the first simultaneous arrival but can't sustain repeated collisions, or whatever. You just have to test it, and it's not quite easy-you'd have to set up four (or 2*N) independent Ethernet stations with very tightly coordinated on-wire packet streams. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
