Hariho ubwoko bwinshi bwo guhinduranya ku isoko, ariko hariho nuburyo butandukanye bwo gukora, kandi ibyingenzi biratandukanye.Irashobora kugabanwa ukurikije imyumvire yagutse nubunini bwo gukoresha:
1)Mbere ya byose, muburyo bwagutse, imiyoboro y'urusobekerane irashobora kugabanywamoibyiciro bibiri: gutandukanya WAN guhinduranya na LAN.
Agace nyamukuru aho WAN ikoresha ikoreshwa mubitumanaho ni Guha abakoresha urubuga rwibanze rwitumanaho rushobora guhuza ibyifuzo byabakoresha benshi.Igipimo cyo kohereza kubakoresha batandukanye ntikizabangamira.
Kuri LAN ihindura, ibi byibanda cyane kuri LAN, ikoreshwa muguhuza ibikoresho byinshi byanyuma, nko kubaka igice kimwe cyurusobe kuri PC hamwe nicapiro ryurusobe.
Kubyerekeranye no gutangaza amakuru no kwihuta, birashobora kugabanywa muburyo bwa Ethernet, kwihuta kwa Ethernet, gigabit ya Ethernet, guhinduranya FDDI, ATM, hamwe na token impeta.
2)Kubijyanye nubunini no kubishyira mu bikorwa, birashobora kugabanywa murwego rwohindura urwego rwimishinga, urwego-urwego rwimikorere, hamwe nitsinda ryabakozi.Ibipimo byabakora ibicuruzwa bitandukanye ntabwo bihuye rwose.Muri rusange, guhinduranya urwego rwumushinga ni ubwoko bwa rack, mugihe abahinduranya ishami barashobora kuba ubwoko bwa rack (hamwe nuduce duto) cyangwa iboneza rihamye, mugihe itsinda ryabakozi-urwego rwimikorere ni ubwoko bwimiterere (hamwe nibikorwa byoroshye).Kurundi ruhande, duhereye ku gipimo cyo gusaba, nkumugongo wumugongo, uhinduranya ushyigikira imishinga minini yinganda zifite amanota arenga 500 ni urwego rwimishinga, hamwe na sisitemu zunganira ibigo bito n'ibiciriritse bitarenze amakuru 300 amanota ni ishami-urwego rwohinduranya, hamwe nabahindura bashyigikira munsi yamakuru 100 yamakuru ni urwego rwakazi.
Ibyavuzwe haruguru nibisobanuro bya "Classification of Switch" yazanweShenzhen HDV Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd..Murakaza neza kuriutubazeku bwoko ubwo aribwo bwose bwibikoresho byitumanaho ibikoresho.
