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 traffic. --- Hamid wrote: > Hi > > I have a C2600 router with 32 MB of memory connected > to my backbone.
