RE: PBR on 6509 cpu utilization

PBR is not an enterprise or a high performance technology. At best it's a CPU drive stop gap to an outage or other very short term fix.

I suggest you look at designing around needing PBR either through VRF-Lite or some other upstream technology such as a 3 legged low latency firewall, like Palo Alto.

thanks

Subject: PBR on 6509 cpu utilization

Does anyone have experience running PBR on a 6509 sup 2 or sup 720. I would like to run PBR but one of the reason not to run it is because it will spike the CPU. Is there any validaly behind that claim? Is there any cisco doc's that would list the case examples. I tried google but did not find anything usefull. Our current CPU is 3% with a 1Gig uplink. I don't see how it will increase the CPU that much. I think it is just B/S because people are afraid of change.

Thanks
