[c-nsp] C7304 and IP CEF

[M.Palis]

I try 12.2(25)S3 on a C7304 but it seems to have problems with CEF. 
Disabling CEF, allows traffic to pass through. Enabling CEF blocks traffic 
after some time. We are donig  Nat on this router (Around 1000 Nat entries)

Does anyone face a similar problem before?

12.2(20)S7 has had lot of exposure and is widely used.

12.2(25)S3 hasn't had lot of exposure, but for us it fixes two VRF related
bugs and it includes support for multicast (and multicast VPN) in PXF etc.

So if you can afford to see how reliable 12.2(25)S3 is with your
configuration I'd try it, but if you really want to have IOS that Cisco
would recommend today, it would be 12.2(20)S7.

We don't do nat, sorry. Have you tried 12.2(25)S3?
