OK, let me try this again. I am trying to figure out the difference between conventional layer 3 routing and layer 3 switching. A little background. I am currently working towards my CCNA (have been for about 3 years). At any rate, everything I read and look at says that switching/bridging is

If you are using MSFC2/PFC2, the PFC2 (does layer 3 wirespeed 'forwarding' between Vlan) will have a FIB (forwarding information base), which is a copy of the RIB (routing information base). The RIB is built on the MSFC2 (router functions). Even the first packet between Vlan 1 and 2 will be wire

Layer 3 switching combines the best of switching and routing in one platform. The main advantage here is speed. The way it works is, in a switch you have some kind of layer 3 routing engine (aka route processor, or RP). For example, the MSFC2 (Multilayer Switch Feature Card 2) is one of the
