The reason I am asking about switches is because we are not setting up
just a single core router. We have a core router network consisting of
3-10 Linux boxes acting as core routers and 5-6 Linux boxes acting as the
source and destination at the edges of the network.
On these Linux routers, we are setting up traffic control (Diffserv, RSVP,
TBF yada yada..) to study various QoS mechanisms (marking, queuing,
scheduling). So I need a switch so that the core network is all 10Mbps.
