4 gigs and 2 cores is more than sufficient for a 1 gbps router at the current 800k routes 1gbps is residential access speed. Is this still useful in the dfz?
Not really the point. You can get 50-100gbps out of an x86 running DPDK by throwing more cores at it without appreciably changing the memory and CPU for the BGP load. My little 4 gig generic Linux VMs that connect my leaf node to the Internet are the ones I have reliable information on, so that's what I shared.
