Can someone pls explain to me why they say that switches running MLS can route packets and rewrite packet headers in hardware? I know that mutilayer switches use ASIC but is this still not software based? Even with a integrated circuit I thought there would still be 'management' software running just so that the IC knows what to do, and if not can someone pls tell me how this is so or am I looking to deep into this and they say "hardware based" because its a piece of silicon soldered on a board.????? _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
