I'd say that's pretty accurate, whether you're talking about the lab or
production. It's been Cisco's preferred switching algorithm for a few
years now, and it's what is implemented in hardware on L3 switches.
Sure, there can always be some odd IOS bugs associated with it, but with
a recent 12.2T or 12.2 mainline release, it should be fine. Just keep
in mind if you're dealing with a router with a large route table, CEF
will model that route table and possibly use more memory than you're
used to seeing on that device. HTH.

Subject: CEF and CAR
Trying to discover if it is necessary to enable CEF on current IOS used
on Lab when CAR is necessary.
I remember a Threat about CEF and QoS where one of the conclusion was
"enable CEF, it will not hurt if not necessary and will help if needed."
Is it still valid?
