Dear All,

I am working on a paper on router, but one problem blocked my process.  That
is what's the differents between a switch and a router for the view of
theoritical.

As to the 3 Layer switch and router, both of them work as a distributor
based on the IP address.  Just some small differents usage and implemention.


Of coourse, we disscuss this problem on the switch and router on the same
layer.

Thank you for your help!

Rgds,

Truly yours,
