You said Amazing in your post....I do not know if I would say that. I
remember installing Extreme Summit 24 and 48's back in '98 or beginning of
'99 and they were L3 switches. Looks to me like Cisco needed years to catch
up. I think that the Summits did something like 4 million packets per
second. Are the NEW 3550's able to do that?
Don't get me wrong, I like the 3550's and would love to have one for home
playing/studying. Luckily I have a whole bunch at work to practice on.
