Newbie question
If a device is using the "fast switching" method and only the first packet
is handled* by the router, does the switch look any deeper than the frame
level to determine the switching for the remaining packets/frames? How does
it read the rewritten frame to know that it should send the remaing packets
of the session to the same switch port as the first frame without going
through the router?
Cisco site info
*"The frame is rewritten and sent to the exit interface that services the
destination. Subsequent packets for the same destination use the same
switching path"
TIA
