[c-nsp] Policy Based Routing on Cisco 6500

[Arie Vayner (avayner)]

Shine,

PBR is done in hardware on the 6500. If you have DFC's, it would be done
on the DFC. If not, the central PFC will do it.
You should monitor your TCAM resources, as it may fill it up, and then
traffic would be punted to the CPU - which you want to avoid at all
costs.

Use the "show tcam counts" command.

Take a look here:

Hi,

I am wondering if there any performance issue with using PBR on a Cisco
6500 with Sup720?

Any pointers and suggestions are most appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Shine
