Hello group, I was wondering about the following question: Is worth to implement VLANs and L3-switching instead a flat L2-network? I know that this question has been discussed here several times, but the answer is always the same: depends. What I would like to know is if sombody has implemented a L3-switched network following the "Cisco style" (Core-distribution-access or collapsed core-access) and now the performance is better than with a L2 network. I had an experience with a network (about 1000 users) with VLANs and Alcatel L3-switches that was terribly slow when you tried to transfer files between VLANs so the staff decided migrate to a flat network, that increased the network performance noticeably. Do you have real experiences or links talking about real experiences that I can check? Thanks and advance.
