What Does Routing Switch Mean?
Techopedia Explains Routing Switch
Routing switches were introduced into the market to improve the network traffic optimization in organizational wide LAN, which spread over many nodes and smaller LANs. The Layer 2 switches didn’t provide the required efficiency in transferring data over largely dispersed LAN; therefore, Layer 3 switches not only manage the traffic within a single LAN segment, but they also provide optimal performance in managing and transporting data over distant corners of the LAN. Routing switches’ hardware-powered routing capabilities provide for faster and better performance in a variety of scenarios. Routing switches can also be a cost-effective alternative to routers.
