Multi-Layer Switching.  For not-quite-L3-switches, they need either an
internal RSM or external router to make routing decisions, then they
remember them and skip the router afterward.  The switch must have some
L3 assistance, such as a 5000 with a supervisor supporting NFFC
or NFFC-II,, or the equivalents on a 6000 series.

NFFC will do MLS for IP
NFFC-II does MLS for IP and IPX.
Nothing I know of does Appletalk.
