Go w/ the larger switches. Switches do handle IP's if they are layer3. They have layer 5 swiches right now and eventually could possibly be layer 7.

by the way, Unix OSI is 4 layers not 7 !!!!

What does unix have to do with hardware? Also did you know the IP model has 5 layers ? dont really see the relevance. But thanks anyway X
OH also how would you have a switch that ran at the aplication layer that seems somewhat impossible? any links to sites showing this new fangeled technology would be greatly apriciated. X
