What is being described is the default behavior of any standard managed switch. There is no virtual circuit being built and it still broadcasts across said VLAN. They are simply only allowing the VLAN to go from point A to point B. This though can be done at wire speed in the hardware of any

Mike Hammett duly noted, Fred, I don't think most of the people here understand what YOU'RE talking about. They think a switch is just a switch and they're all the same, but that's far from the truth. Probably true, which is why I'd like to clarify it. Vendors who sell primarily to ISPs
