Adding a router to a network will increase the size of the collision domain.
The size of the collision domain can be reduced by adding hubs to a network
The more interfaces a router has the larger the resulting broadcast domain.
Adding a switch to a network will increase the size of the broadcast domain.

Forward the data to S2
Broadcast an ARP request to all S1 ports except port Fa0/1
Add the MAC address of the PC that is attached to Fa0/1 to the MAC address table
Broadcast the data to all S1 ports and all S2 ports that have attached end devices
Broadcast the data to all S1 ports that have attached end devices, except the Fa0/1 port
Decreased service calls
Support of voice and video both using the same switch
Separate wiring infrastructure for voice and video traffic

Cut-through: makes a forwarding decision after receiving the entire frame
Store-and-forward: forwards the frame immediately after examining its destination MAC address
Cut-through: provides the flexibility to support any mix of Ethernet speeds
Store-and-forward: ensures that the frame is free of physical and data-link errors
