The stability of CEF depends greatly on the version of IOS you're running
on your router.  Many versions of code, such as some 12.0 or 12.0T
releases had some nasty CEF bugs.  The later 12.1 IP releases seem to be
pretty stable, at least they have been for me.  Your experience may differ
depending on what protocols, services, etc. you run on the router.
