I think that's good news :) - I have always wondered how Cisco engineers
have been able to *test* this myriad of different switching variants for
each new software release.
If now CEF could be made less memory hungry, everything would be perfect :-)
- I still think memory usage of 25 Mb for CEF (if running full BGP tables)
is way too high, and it effectively kills boxes with VIP2-40's or 720x
with only 128 Mb RAM...
