Hi! I would really recommend you get the Inside Cisco IOS architecture book, it gives a lot of information on the different switching modes of cisco... In resume, CEF builds the "switching table" in configuration time (instead on the first packet of a flow, as fast-switching does). To hold the

Another question, in CEF is the whole routing table held in a cache? If so what is the diffrence between this and the routing table held in RAM? Is the cache faster than the regular RAM in the router? Thanks, Steve Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=74794&t

Just for the sake of clarity: "cache" in this context doesn't refer to a faster-than-usual memory. The route cache is in the exact same RAM as the routing table. For more details, see the documents Marko mentioned. Thanks, Zsombor Steven Aiello wrote: > > Another question, > > in CEF is the

Hi I have a C2600 router with 32 MB of memory connected to my backbone. This router should share the bandwidth among three Cisco routers connected through the LAN (Fast-Ethernet ports). For example, a 3 Mbps bandwidth should be shared between these routers so the traffic going through each of the

Couple of items: CEF is a very low overhead process and, in terms of CPU and memory, you should be fine. I am not as certain that your intentions to use the MAC address of the router as a filter point will work. Typically you use an IP extended ACL for CAR. Also review how routers filter outbound
