Re: intervlan routing and policy routing C3750 or C 4948

I may be old fashioned however policy routing is
in my view a band aid. I would be reluctant to
consider it for a new design. Make that /very/
reluctant. If someone is telling you that
they must have the facility provided by it
why not save a lot of trouble and
get that new job now:-)

It is not clear from this if they are talking about
hardware or software based switching. This is deliberate
on Cisco's part in the hope that you will buy it anyway.
Fastswitching is DEFINATELY software so it
would seem that in this case CEF is software
which is unlikely to be any use to you.

Neither fast /nor/ process switching use hardware based
IP routing. The performance will be terrible.


Avoid PBR - Just don't do it.

If you /must/ do it get your supplier to state
in writing that the forwarding rate for PBR is xxxMpps
where xxx is whatever is in the brochure for your
chosen model. Get ready to sue.

Finally I suspect that you will find that not
many beta testers -oops- ^h^h... customers
use PBR and so you will need to be on the look
out for gremlins.

Have fun. - Sorry Vincent but I like that too.
