Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is advanced Layer 3 IP switching technology. CEF optimizes network performance and scalability for networks with large and dynamic traffic patterns, such as the Internet, on networks characterized by intensive Web-based applications, or interactive sessions.
Although you can use CEF in any part of a network, it is designed for high-performance, highly resilient Layer 3 IP backbone switching.
