Subject: RE: Layer3 switching - More
Clarification
If a router using silicon switching (or some other method of
internal switching) routes the first packet and then caches information to
allow the next packet in the conversation to be switched without looking at
the routing table, and a layer three switch does essentiall the same
thing are there really any significant differences between the modern router
and a L3 switch?

What are the benefits of layer3
switching (versus layer2)? Can I create VLAN's w/o using a router on a
layer3 switch?
