Where do the Extreme and Juniper fit into this?
Juniper do not make L3-switches so they dont really compare.
Others have said that too, but given where Junipers are used, I think they sneak into the same category as the Cisco 6500/7600s and other high-end L3 switches.
Extreme i-plattform is currently destination ip based with inital cache lookup. (guess this is flow based)
I guess I just don't understand the architecture. What I really don't understand is _why_ you'd bother with flow-based architecture over prefix-based architecture..... am I looking green yet?
