Cisco CEF Note

Critical— Processes that allocate resources for other processes and must be run periodically for the router to operate properly. For example, the pool manager process is critical.

High— Processes that require very quick response times; Net Input, which accepts packets off of interfaces, is high priority.

Medium— The default process priority; almost all processes run at this priority.

Low— Periodic background processes that aren’t required for router operation; Logger, which records Syslog messages, is a low-priority process

后面的代表的是状态

• *— Process is running on the CPU (you’ll almost always see exec as the current process on the processor, because it is almost always the place you run this command from).

• E— Process is waiting on an event.

• S —Process is suspended.

• rd— Process is ready to run.

• we— Process is idle and waiting on an event.

• sa— Process is idle until a specific (absolute) time occurs.

• si— Process is idle until a specific amount of time passes.

• sp— Process is idle until a specific amount of time passes; this state is used for processes that run periodically.

• st— Process is idle until a timer expires.

• hg— Process is hung.

• xx— Process is dead.

比如这个

3 M* 0 604 80 755010588/12000 0 Exec

意味着是中优先级，正在cpu上操作

至于优先级的处理呢，看看这个图就可以了

Init— Accounts for the memory allocated before the scheduler, memory pool manager, and other such processes come up.

Sched— Accounts for the memory used in the process scheduler; the scheduler isn’t a separate process.

Dead— Accounts for memory that is allocated to processes that have entered the dead state.
