Hi all, I have a question and I hope someone can help me. As I know, Cisco router support several switching method, e.g. process switching, fast switching etc. In some document, it state that fast switching is when the 1st packet goes into a router, it will go through the routing process, the other packets with the same source and destination address will go through the switching process. As I know, the layer 3 switching router is doing the same job. Then, what is the different between a layer3 switching router and a router in fast switching?
