Well,
Someone may have a product based answer for you but literally a router is a
layer 3 switch. Just think of all of the functionality that a switch offers
you and add on the route switch module to sweeten the pot.
A router either bridges or has separate subnets on each of its
interfaces.(simplistic answer of course).
