i dont remember who stated that 'switchs do l3 and routers do L2.

wrong!!!

as a matter of fact they have it backward?

please correct incorrect assertions when spotted...

i'm surprised at you gert as i KNOW you know this and said nothing.

switch that can do l3 stuff are excatly as stated below but have a niche in
shops such
as i work in - that is heavily slanted toward L2 type of nets.
