And a couple of replies on this one... here's the OFRV employee version:
CEF (Cisco Express Forwarding) is the marketing name of what
we originally called FIB (Forwarding Information Base, where
the FIB is initially completely populated, instead of traffic-
driven cached). The dCEF/dFIB reference is where the FIB is
pushed onto the VIP (Versatile Interface Processor) cards,
otherwise known as the linecards.
