Hey all, Question: 1) On a router with multiple outbound paths, if fast switching (or CEF) = =3D is enabled and outbound traffic comes through towards a given =3D destination, is all traffic for that same destination then locked to the = =3D same path untill the route cache is cleared? 2) If the above is yes, how long does the router maintain its route =3D cache? Purpose: We have a 7507 that will be running BGP over 2 T1's. We are attempting = =3D to establish load balancing both inbound and out. Halabi (2nd Ed.) in = =3D Chapter 7 warns that to do this one must be familiar with the different = =3D methods of switching. Thus I am studying to find the pro's and cons of = =3D each. CEF or fast switching sounds about right, however, the above =3D question was raised as I was discussing this with our lead engineer.
