Not all L3-switches are flow-based; prefix-based ones should do just fine. Can people add/correct this initial list ?
Flow-based: Foundry with IronCore modules, Cisco Catalyst 6500 with Sup1(A) Prefix-based: Foundry with JetCore modules, Cisco Catalyst 6500/7600 with Sup2(A), Sup3(A/BXL)

Where do the Extreme and Juniper fit into this?

Well folks, since the middle of August I've been tracking the spread and subsequent efforts by our community to stop the nachia/welchia infection that took down so many networks.
Sadly, by my estimations, only about 20-30% of infected hosts were cleaned. After Jan 1, 2004 it appears that the thousands, (millions?)
of
remaining infected hosts were rebooted and the worm removed itself. Network traffic has finally returned to normal.
What kind of effects did everyone see from this devastating worm and
what
lessons did we learn for preventing network downtime in the future?
