- Total forwarding capacity, on all ports 800 Mbps x 8 o 12 (in/out)?)
 - Classification (CoS or DSCP)
 - MAC address table:2048 MAC (low)
 - Lv2 Switch

        I guess that would be enough :)

Thanks

Still not enough information. :-) Try asking yourself this:

  - Total forwarding capacity, all ports (800 Mbps x 2 (in/out)?)

  - QoS requirements? (Classification (CoS, DSCP?), scheduling (priority
    queueing?), marking)

  - STP? PVST+? Rapid-PVST+? MST?

  - MAC address table size? Would it just forward between a number of
    routers, or also forward customer traffic? Should it be able to hold
    20k unique MAC addresses?

  - Just L2 switching?

There's probably many times more questions that would be relevant, but
it's hard reading minds at a distance. ;-)
