Yes I would use mlppp and ios in the same sentence, as I have been running it without a hitch on a 7200 for 6 months. also, you guys are missing his point (t-1's to the internet) what ISP is going to run OSPF or EIGRP with a customer ? please.
Maybe, if they managed the router, but he didnt say that.. its T-1's (very low bandwidth) even a 2600 can handle the CPU for a measily 3Mbps. If he was running high power DS-3's or something then yes CEF would be better, but keep in mind if it was say BGP, then it would be two peering sessions (memory and cpu hog thing happening) or 1 peering session to the loopbacks. (not bad). but for T-1 speeds MLPPP with your provider is the way to go. Not to mention I dont have any funky 40/60 or 30/70 load balancing going on - pure 50/50 on 2 T-1's. Its very easy, seemless thing to do for layer 3.
