Linksys WRT routers.  The more I hear about the tech from colleges, Google, 
BigSwitch, etc is leaning me to really start learning, so any help would 
appreciated.

Yeah, it's the neatest thing since sliced bread, but requires layer-2
connectivity across the board.  When you exhaust your mac address
tables, we'll welcome you back to the real world.
