Well I'll put it to you this way. I have a bunch of 7500's that have been running CEF for years without a hitch. On the other hand, I have also done MPPP. Yes, I agree, most of the time it works. But you do get those instances where .... this one time, at band camp..... That's what I'm saying. Both technologies are actually fairly stable. But in my experience, CEF is more stable. That's not to say that MPPP will always fall down every single time. I didn't say that. But in situations like this, you would want to go with what offers you the most stability, if possible. > > 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.

I'd rather have unequal balancing than to have those kinds of things happening.
