Hi All:

Would anybody tell me the function differences between iSCSI Router and Switch, 
or just like performance difference in Layer 3 switch and Router?
When it say it is a iSCSI switch, what level do it operate, level 2, 3 or 4?
When it say it is a iSCSI Router, what level do it operate, or just a protocol
converting gateway?
Is there any definition for iSCSI Router or iSCSI switch?

Thanks,
Nike
