In a report, a consultant is defining 'flat' in this way:
"In a flat network there are only access level switches and core level switches; distribution level
switches are omitted in a flat network when compared to the hierarchical topology."
My understanding, as an old network guy is 'flat' means a non-routed, non-VLANed LAN. Wikipedia defines it similarly. I am concerned this wording will cause confusion when it comes to implementation. I have 2 questions for you all:
1- Is my concern legitimate?
2- Is there a better word than 'flat' for what he is describing?
