A Layer 3 switch combines the high-speed forwarding capability of a Layer 2 switch with the routing intelligence of a router. It can forward frames based on MAC addresses inside the same local network, and it can also route packets based on IP addresses between different network. Engineered to aggregate massive volumes of data from distribution switches, it provides ultra-low latency and maximum throughput to ensure uninterrupted routing and packet. It is part of the commonly used Network Switch hardware architecture and serves as a port device in the core layer.
