He's right... MTU is Max Transfer Unit which can be
adjusted but the default is around 4470 for Token Ring
and Ethernet is 1500 (Cisco default), 1600 (BayRS
default). Ethernet frame is 1518 bytes.

FDDI is similar to Token Ring. Don't have the #s off
the top of my head at moment (been a long day/week).

Switching mode is router-specific and part of the
forwarding method... so... I wouldn't even think about
switching/forwarding methods until after the stuff
he's after is answered , then maybe mention it as a
plus.
One of the three things looked at is the destination
address, else it doesn't know where to forward it.
