A switch has a backplane bandwidth and an number of ports running at the highest speed in full duplex. If the total bandwidth for all the ports is less than the switches backplane, it would be a non-blocking switch because there is enough bandwidth to carry all packets without delay. If the backplane is less than the total port bandwidth, it would be a blocking architecture.
