Output drops here are due to rate-limit output on one interface. |->For an ISP or border router, CEF will help a lot since the route-cache is |->pre-built, rather than demand based.

CEF |->also works fine with netflow and policy routing. we use ip route-cache policy on each interface that is has policy routing enabled. I'm trying to find out how route-cache correlatets to CEF. Does ip route-cache policy need to be turned off when CEF is enabled? How is it it different than CEF? The two seem to be interchangable and on reading stuff on CCO about CEF there is a command: ip route-cache cef oh wait a minute, I can use ip route-cache policy to do just the policy routing, or use ip route-cache cef. Any idea on which is better?
