any switch which can't handle full load on all ports isn't worthy of the name 'switch', it's more like 'toy network appliance'

I will forever be scarred by the "Gigabit" switches of old that were 2 gigabit ports and 22 100mb ports. Coworker bought it missing the nuance.
Still happens, gotta see if the top speed mentioned is an uplink or normal ports.
