Subject: Layer 3 switching...
Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:57:50 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <470553CE.1050303@riverviewtech.net> (raw)

Is it even possible or even worth while to do layer 3 switching
(bridging) on a Linux system?

Or would this be considered routing even though everything is done on
OSI Layer 2?

Which would be faster, Layer 3 switching (bridging) on OSI Layer 2 or
routing on OSI Layer 3?
