Quoting from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch,
"Switches may operate at one or more OSI layers, including
physical,
data link, network, or transport (i.e., end-to-end)."

Lots of terminology confusion. It used to be hubs were at level 1,
switches at level 2, routers at level 3 and gateways above level 3.

TL;DR: That's an over-simplification or a case of nostalgia.

I'm not disagreeing with you in practice but many years ago these
WERE the definitions the ITU and ISO dealt with.

I love to see an actual ISO or ITU document that provides a normative
definition of the any of those terms. Since you are claiming such a document
exists, perhaps you could provide a URL, ISBN, or other reference?
