	Do you mean L2 switching plus some IPv4 Layer-3 packet forwarding
utilizing the pfc/dfcs?

	I'd consider SXF12 as it's very robust and most likely to give you
a positive long-term outcome.  I'd be cautious with SXH still as cisco
has not been forthcoming with SXH1 which should include a number of
important bugfixes for folks and may still be missing a lot of
bugfixes as there are a lot of folks waiting for SXH1 to do
a broad deployment (and find more associated bugs).
