Title: Layer 3 switching

I know there has been much discussion on this in the past, but I want to make sure that I understand it.  Layer 3 switching is the equivalent of routing, but is usually referred to as Layer 3 switching because it's designed for high speed LAN traffic.

Assuming the above is correct what are some examples of a regular routers vs. layer 3 switch? I'm guessing the 2500 series routers would be regular but what would be a good example of a layer 3 switch?
