Hey Everyone! I'm a Network novice and I was hoping you could clear up a networking aspect that remains a mystery to me. When I imagine say a 48 port switch and the massive amount of data that can traverse it, how is it that a router will typically have 2-4 ports and be able to support that? Granted, majority of traffic would typically be LAN only I suppose. If 48 clients connected to a switch access WAN, does all that data flow run back and fourth through that routers 2 ports? I think I'm missing something simple here, I appreciate your help.
