Since this topic
seems to come up about every other day or so, I thought I would provide a link
to a white paper that our old company (before we were acquired) wrote on
the topic of L2 versus L3 (or routing) switches.It's about 2 years old, but it
still a good resource on the topic. http://www.tbg.com/Public/WhitePapers/RoutSw2.html
We've also got an
old paper on "wire speed" routers at http://www.tbg.com/Public/WhitePapers/wirespeed_Router.html
Perhaps these can
get added to the groupstudy FAQ?
