Uh-oh... You've swallowed the CEF-is-awesome pill in order to avoid the
MPLS-is-faster pill! :)

Subject: Re: MPLS speed -- switching vs IP routing
Back in the old days of using the 7500s, MPLS (tag switching) was faster
than routing due to the method of route lookups. Modern routers do not look
up routes the same, so there is really no speed diference between layer 3
and layer 2 lookups. But, when you read up on MPLS, they still state speed
is a reson to use it. The real reson to use MPLS is the services that you
would use on top of it.
