@Oktokolo "backbone" is my ISP. It's a home setu, not work.
If my Pc to Pc is already using 10, I would bet that "internet at 3.5" is not used. Just copying "Home movies" of 40 GB
And it happens... Well once every 4 months. -
@NoToJavaScript backbone is the max bandwidth of the switch.
You can get a 24 10gbe port switch but it can't do 240gbe at once. -
@NoToJavaScript That sounds like a 1Gb switch would be okay - and it would also be an order of magnitude cheaper.

@Oktokolo It's rare, but sometimes I need to copy a 40 GB file from one PC to another :) Let's say it's "familly video"
-
@NoToJavaScript If it's rare, a 1Gb connection should be enough. Or just use a usb stick for that.

@Oktokolo So far :
"Server" (linux, because it matters for some readers) is in 10 Gbits to router.
"Work/game" PC (Windows) is in wifi, because I can't find how to pass cable witout drilling holes. Wifi sync at 544 (down) / 476 (up). Honestly good enough
And I moved "familly video" downloading directlly on server, so it does get full 3.2 Gbits Internet.
So far that works.
First worl problem.
There is only 1 10Gbits port on router. I'm already using it (Usage never exceeds 3.5 Gbits).
I wanto to add second device, also in 10 GBits.
Hub or Switch ?
On the one hand, my fiber max out at 3.5 Gbits.
On the other hand, I might want full 10 Gbitrs for Pc to PC communication.
Do I need 10 ? 99% : NO. But there is this 1% when everything is so fast !
