Re: BGP and memory

I think you are forgetting that these routes need to be stored in a data structure that allows fast queries as well as fast inserts and deletes. That index takes space, and your "sh ip bgp" doesn't show you that. Yeah, let's store the routing table in a linked list! -Phil

No, if someone want to implement the core BGP in the 8 MB ram, he can do it as well (through the cost of his work + cost of debug should be much greater than the cost of 128RAM memory -:)).
