How do you define a router?

Personally, for me a real router is something that does full LPM on every
packet, ie does not have some kind of "route-cache" and does hardware
assist based on the contents of the route-cache.

If the above is true, then the 3550 is a router as far as I know. Sucky 
router, but still.

If deep packet buffers is a requisite then we have limited the number of 
real routers greatly. These routers also come with approx 5 times as high 
price tag.
