Great article, easy to follow and excellent explanation to distinguish between Router and L3 switch.

Could you please also explain how Layer 4 or L7 switching works on another article? I have found them event more confusing.

Thanks very much.

hi, thanks for the great acticle, by the way I have a question to inquiry:

with layer3 switch to implement VLAN without the need of router, isn’t that reduce the security level as router does provide firewall and packet filtering of which layer3 switch does not. I agree that performance can greatly be achieved, but the purpose of segmenting network (VLAN) mainly is to reduce broadcast rate and SECURITY purpose,
with layer3 switch, we can improve its performance, but how about security?

Thanks and correct me if i were wrong. ^^
