IDB Scalability
Cisco IOS Software uses interface descriptor blocks (IDBs) to store
interface-specific information, such as protocols configured and timers, so
that Cisco IOS device drivers can interact efficiently with various types of
interfaces. IDBs are an exhaustable resource tied to the memory available on
the router. Each physical interface comprises a hardware IDB and at least one
software IDB, although more than one software IDB may be supported and mapped
to the same physical interface.
An IDB is used for each of these types of interfaces:
7 Physical
7 Dialer
7 Virtual
7 Hidden
7 Subinterface
7 Tunnel
7 Loopback
