what is the differences between L3-Switch and Router? sagitraz 21-September-2009 04:23:04 PMComments Layer 3 switches do routing with ASIC chips. Routers do it with a microprocesor and its associated software. Therefore the Layer 3 switches are much faster than traditional routers, but cost more. We need them both because in many situations a slow router is sufficient and cheaper than a gigabit layer 3 switch router.
