Ethernet Switch- what's the point?


I run an Ethernet cable between my router (standard issue from Verizon) and my streaming transport. I note that some use an ethernet switch between between the router and streamer. Assuming I got that right, what is the point- what does a good switch do? I've been into audio since the 70's but when its comes to streaming, I'm definitely a newbie- 

Thanks all!

...stop lying. Why do I call it lying? Because you have been told over and over again what the reality is, and you continue deliberately, willfully and intentionally spew the same garbage.

You call it lying because this is what you do here: copy and paste of charts and data, then engage in the ill logic of ad hominem personal attacks. It really is an obstacle to the discussion others are trying to have.

... you think you know things, but you really don't, but you continue to argue. Why? You really have nothing better than fill up forums with garbage that is completely, easily verifiably wrong?

The topic here is ethernet switches, not personal insults. Please try try to stay on topic.
