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.


Thank You
Adam
