Title. Just curious why NICs are so expensive considering manages switches seem to have much more responsibility and many more ports.

    NIC’s create and disassemble network packets which requires more compute power
    Switch ports just pass them from one to another which requires less
    The physical port(s) you plug the RJ45 into is not what is driving the cost, it’s the brains behind that.
