First, this is a great article! Saying that does not mean it belongs here though.

- Please see my comments under "forwarding information base". The very fact that my comments on forwarding and control separation wound up there rather than here does support a structural problem. I'd be getting into really esoteric material to have a top-level thing called "relaying", much broader than "switching", and then have forwarding and control under that, which then branch into the instantiation of forwarding and control at different layers, with different media, etc. Truly, doing that would be technically correct, and even more certain to confuse people than the OSI Reference Model. :-( Howard C.

Data Plane
The page data plane redirects here. I guess this means that both terms are synonymous. Could anyone confirm this? I noticed that IETF standards often speak of data plane, e.g. in RFC4379, but I'm not sure if they mean the same thing. Can we change the initial sentence of the article to "In routing, the forwarding plane (also called data plane)..."? --史慧开 (talk) 09:52, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Forwarding plane → Data plane – This page treats 'forwarding plane' and 'data plane' pretty much as synonyms. The term 'data plane' is by far the more common name - evidence from Google Trends. There is already a redirect at Data plane. The proposal is to rename this page to 'Data plane', and have a redirect from 'Forwarding plane' to this, m.m. Chumpih t 17:49, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
