All things taken into consideration a core in many cases will be better served at
layer 2, with routing taking place at the edges of the core at the access and
distribution layers. This moves the path selection processing to the edges and
leaves the core as a layer 2 transit area normally with large pipes between the
distribution and access layers of your design. Layer 3 switching may change this
to some degree.
