I'm trying to understand difference between performance between those two types of traffic pushing. AFAIK if routing is performed in hardware using TCAM memory, routing and switching should have more or less same forwarding performance (both for throughput and pps), but I was recently told that this might not be the case. If your hardware has enough TCAM for your needs would there be any performance differences between those two approaches?
In case of similar network designs, one based on switching, second on routing, if main requirement is forwarding performance what would be preferable solution? I'm thinking that to save TCAM (and use it for some other purpose i.e. ACL), switching should be chosen.
