Regarding your statement on the Routers discussion page:
Routers are OSI Layer 3. Switches and Bridges are OSI Layer 2. NICs, hubs, and repeaters are OSI Layer 1. If there is anything wrong in those statements, then Cisco is wrong, but that's not the case, so this article is not incorrect in stating the OSI layer is 3. I would suggest that the article is not misleading, but that the TCP/IP model is misleading; my proof being that most University grads in the US who take senior level networking courses do not know that the things at BestBuy are merely "intelligent" switch and NOT routers, no matter what the box says.

I don't quiet understand: would you say that a wireless router which does NAT is just an "intelligent switch"? In what sense is the TCP/IP model misleading? Isn't TCP/IP just an implementation of OSI with TCP/IP layers 1-3 mapping to OSI layer 1-3, 4 and 5 mapping to 4 to 7. How is it misleading? -- User_talk:mgoerner
