The distribution layer of the network is
the demarcation point between the access and core layers; this layer
helps to define and differentiate the core. Providing boundary
definition, the distribution layer is the point at which packet
manipulation should take place. The distribution layer should be
responsible for ensuring that only necessary traffic makes it to the
core or another switch block. The distribution layer can be
summarized as the layer that provides policy-based connectivity.
