Something for you all to note is that many routers and IOS versions when you do a wr mem you induce a 350ms
Outage of traffic flowing through the box. Now some of you may say "big deal" but put a voice switch or a time
Sensitive application and watch it die every time you save the config. Some IOS versions now only do this the first
Time you save the config i.e. just after it is reloaded others still do it every time. Also changing the boot system commands induces the same delay (there is no way round this).
