	Multilayer Switch
		Multilayer switching is new, and there is no industry standard yet on nomenclature.
		The term multilayer switch seems to be the best and most widely used description of this class of product that performs both Layer 3 routing and Layer 2 switching functions.
		Multilayer switching is usually implemented through a fast hardware such as a higher-density ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), which allow real-time switching and forwarding with wirespeed performance, and at lower cost than traditional software-based routers built around general-purpose CPUs.

	Multilayer switch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A multilayer switch (MLS) is a computer networking device that switches on OSI layer 2 like an ordinary network switch and provides extra functions on higher OSI layers.
		The major difference between the packet switching operation of a router and that of a Layer 3 switch is the physical implementation.
		Content switches can often also be used to perform standard operations such as SSL encryption/decryption to reduce the load on the servers receiving the traffic, and to centralise the management of digital certificates.

	Lantronix Switching Tutorial: Server Switches, Congestion and Network Capacity
		Switches map the Ethernet addresses of the nodes residing on each network segment and then allow only the necessary traffic to pass through the switch.
		When a packet is received by the switch, the switch examines the destination and source hardware addresses and compares them to a table of network segments and addresses.
		Combining the packet handling of routers and the speed of switching, these multilayer switches operate on both layer 2 and layer 3 of the OSI network model.

	Switch 4007 Implementation Guide
		Switch 4007 Multilayer Switching Modules use two protocols to support IP multicast routing: the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and the Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP).
		Switch 4007 Multilayer Switching Modules use the Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) to form IP multicast tunnels.
		A Switch 4007 Multilayer Switching Module needs to have IP multicast routing features enabled only if network users that sit downstream of the module (from the perspective of the source location) require access to IP multicast application traffic.

		The path that a Layer 3 packet follows through a multilayer switch is similar to that of a Layer 2 switch.
		As with Layer 2 switching, the packet must be finally placed in the appropriate egress queue on the appropriate egress switch port.
		However, recall that during the multilayer switching process, the next-hop destination was obtained from the FIB table—just as a router would do.

	The Industrial Ethernet Book - Tech Forum: Multilayer switches
		A multilayer switch is capable of performing multiple OSI-layer functions.
		Unlike Hubs, switches operating at Layer 2 have the ability to intelligently direct (or switch) packets to the appropriate physical port.
		Today, when people talk about a multilayer switch they are usually referring to a Layer 2+3 switch; or simply a Layer 3 switch.

	Release Notes for the Catalyst 3550 Multilayer Switch, 12.1(13)EA1a-Cisco Catalyst 3550 Series Switches - Cisco Systems
		If the member switch is a new device supported by a software release that is later than the software release on the command switch, the command switch cannot recognize the member switch and it is displayed as an unknown device in the Front Panel view.
		If the switch is not configured to rewrite the DSCP value of any packet, it is safe to match against DSCP in ACLs used for IP access groups or for VLAN maps because the DSCP does not change as the packet is processed by the switch.
		Catalyst 3550 switches do not take into account the Preamble and Inter Frame Gap (IFG) when rate limiting traffic, which could result in a slightly inaccurate policing rate on a long burst of small-sized frames, where the ratio of the Preamble and IFG to frame size is more significant.

		When a switch receives a packet on an untrusted interface and the interface belongs to a VLAN in which DHCP snooping is enabled, the switch compares the source MAC address and the DHCP client hardware address.
		When the DHCP option-82 feature is enabled on the switch, a subscriber device is identified by the switch port through which it connects to the network (in addition to its MAC address).
		The switch removes the option-82 field and forwards the packet to the switch port that connects to the DHCP client that sent the DHCP request.

	Network switch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A network switch (or just switch) is a networking device that performs transparent bridging (connection of multiple network segments with forwarding based on MAC addresses) at up to the speed of the hardware.
		A switch can connect Ethernet, Token Ring, Fibre Channel or other types of packet switched network segments together to form a Internetwork.
		Some switches will begin to function as a network hub if the buffer/queue overflows from heavy traffic.
