Particularly in the large enterprise network, there is the middle layer between core and edge which is called the aggregation layer.
In the aggregation layer, aggregation switches are required to play an important role of aggregating traffic from large number of edge switches to be forwarded to the core switches as well as receiving traffic from core to distribute towards edge switches. The aggregation switches need to process packets between core and edge switches, and must be secure, reliable and have simplified management.
