I may have a near future need to do [some more] policy routing on a 3550 and found http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk364/technologies_configuration_example09186a00802135d3.shtml

The 3550 in question is already doing policy routing of locally generated traffic using "ip local policy route-map LocalPolicy", and this did not require changing from the default sdm template. LocalPolicy sets ip next-hop based on the packet's source IP address.

My questions are,

Under recent 12.2 software, will the extended-match sdm template really be required when policy routing routed traffic?

From the above mentioned page, it sounds like even when policy routing,
the routing is done in hardware...so is it safe to assume a 3550 can policy route line rate traffic (or at least several hundred mbit/s)?
