Well here are my answers, I wager $700.00 of Jeopardy money.
1. Layer 3 switching is actually routing. It is designed for high speed routing however.
2. For the answer to this question remember your encapsulation from CCNA - Data->segments->packets->frames->bits and back the other way for receiving. So switch would use frames, whereas a layer 3 switch which is really a router, would switch packets. If this is incorrect feel free to let me know.
3. And I just plain don't know without looking anything up on this on.

Subject: LAYER 3 SWITCHING
I need some help in understanding Layer 3 Switching.
1. What does the process Layer 3 switching refer to?
2. Is it packets or frames being switched out of interfaces or ports?
3. Using the 2948G-L3 as an example, how is the switching determined - by
Routing table or CAM table?
All help is appreciated.
