Understanding Layer 3 Switching Benefits by Kaushik Das is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Layer 3 switches provide inter-VLAN routing to allow communication between VLANs while maintaining high performance. They are more cost-effective than routers for inter-VLAN routing due to specialized hardware that can route Ethernet traffic at wire speed. Layer 3 switching refers only to data plane operations of routing packets, while Layer 3 routing involves both control plane and data plane operations.
