This was an issue which was raised at the Networkers 2001. Someone Q'ed that
the R&S is all routing and little or no switching , to which the speaker had
replied that they were in the process of reviewing the current trends
(switching etc.) which would take place in May 2002. At that point they may
advise on the new format, which will include much more switching than we
currently see in the lab.
So we may see more of 6500's, MSFC's, L3 switching etc. covered in the
newest format.
