MLS refers to Multilayer Switching MLS is the process whereby a switch works in conjunction with a router or RSM (route switch module) to provide high-speed routed traffic. In simple terms, the switch sends the initial traffic to the router to discover the path needed for the destination, and then the switch takes over from there without the router's assistance. This allows you to maintain routed networks at switched speeds as the switch fabric, which is based in hardware, will move traffic much faster than a router, which is based in software. Good luck!
