Multilayer switching combines the functions of Layer 2 (data link layer) switching and Layer 3 (network layer) routing. It improves network performance by making forwarding decisions based on information from multiple layers of the OSI model, often to optimize traffic flow and prioritize certain types of data. It is commonly used in enterprise networks and data centers to provide faster and more efficient routing of network traffic than traditional routers.
