Er...CEF-Cisco Express Forwarding-is proprietary to Cisco only. It is
proprietary because you do not run Cisco Express Forwarding on a Juniper, or
a ....ahh forget it. Yes we know what is cache and what is not..Try not to
take things so liberal here and start nitpicking. People usually know what a
flow is here and the fact that your definition may or may not not indicate
that CEF is actually building a flow is not really relevent, since I was not
trying to say it did. I just used the term for time's sake. If i were to
really describe CEF in a white paper, I may or may not use the term flow.But
the point is that it is not in the scope of this discussion. Chill out with
the criticisms.....
