A downstream switch refers to a network switch that connects to another switch or device further along in the network topology, typically receiving data from an upstream switch. It facilitates the distribution of data to various end devices, such as computers, printers, or other switches. In hierarchical network designs, the upstream switch often manages broader traffic, while downstream switches handle local traffic distribution. This setup enhances network efficiency and scalability.
