If a router using silicon switching (or some other method of
internal switching) routes the first packet and then caches information to allow
the next packet in the conversation to be switched without looking at the
routing table, and a layer three switch does essentiall the same
thing are
first of all a switch will always switch
faster than a router since the router has a processor and a switch has a ASIC
specific for switching.
now a router not only switches the packets but will
process it for access restrictions and queueing. thus slowing things down
compared switches tha
port density for one thing

The theory of layer 3 switching is fairly straightforward, logically and
physically. The implementation of a well designed network integrating L3
with VLANs/BVIs, channels and tunnels is less immediately apparent.
As aforementioned in a previous thread comment, Cisco does have some setup
