David This is not direted to you.

I have a question about CSCO and networking ingeneral.
Correct me if I am wrong on anything

Layer 3 swiching is routing at wirespeed, Say 10/100 MB/S
If you have a big CSCO Router, say 12-18 months old, That router has to be programed Right ?
Could you replace that router with a layer 3 switch ?
If you can, Do you still need the extensive programing that The conventional router needs ? (I have been lead to believe that Routers need lots of programing)

2) If you don't, then is a layer 3 switch simmilar to an inteligent hub albeit a large hub.

I am trying to get some clarification on this Thanks.

To all:

Cisco looking very strong in this sell-off.

It will be interesting to see if we get the "almost always Dec Jan rally" this year.
