IP Switching provides information about advanced layer 3 switching mechanisms such as Cisco Express Forwarding as well as information about IOS NetFlow which uses various IP attributes to identify flows of traffic that are switching through routers.
Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)
Cisco's Express Forwarding (CEF) technology for IP is a scalable, distributed, layer 3 switching solution designed to meet the future performance requirements of the Internet and Enterprise networks. It represents the latest advance in Cisco IOSTM switching capabilities that includes NetFlowTM Switching and Distributed Switching. CEF is also a key component of Cisco's Tag Switching architecture.
