In the case of individual hosts, the switch replaces the repeater and effectively gives the device full 10 Mbps bandwidth (or 100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet) to the rest of the network. This type of network is sometimes called a desktop switched Ethernet. In the case of segments, the hub is replaced with a switching hub. Traditional Ethernets, in which all hosts compete for the same bandwidth, are called shared Ethernets. Switched Ethernets are becoming very popular because they are an effective and convenient way to extend the bandwidth of existing Ethernets. Also see the Ethernet Designations chart in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia.   Migration to Switched Ethernet LANs IBM white paper describing how to migrate from a normal Ethernet configuration to a switched Ethernet configuration.
