It starts to stretch my DIMM wetware memory, but "switching" started being
attached to devices doing routing around the time that switch vendors (layer2)
were saying people should build fewer, flatter subnets and have the switch
vendors' switches pass traffic around because "switching is faster than routing"
Also asserted at the time was that "switching is simpler than routing."
Toss-in a bit of keeping-up, as well as some vendors adding "routing" ability to
their "switches" and poof, we have the bingo term L3 switching. Have it stick
around long enough and one will end-up with the telephone dressers and hair
sanitizers finding some hairs to split to differentiate between an "L3 switch"
and an "L3 router" ...
