Ron,
layer 3 switching = routing
"layer 3 switching" is just a marketing term thought up by sales droids to
confuse the masses. At most, layer 3 switching means "fast routing and
fowarding". You have asics and software enhancements, but the basic
foundation its still a layer 3 path determination and forwarding based on
that information, i.e what we called routing in the old days.
Hope that sheds some light.

Hi people,
I have a design question that I was wondering if someone could shed some
light
on. With all the talk of layer3 switching these days, is it a good idea to
switch at the core? Shouldn't the core be routed?
Thanks - Ron
