Its is for the routing table. Check out this datasheet: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA4-5672ENW&doctype=data%20sheet&doclang=EN_US&searchquery=&cc=us&lc=en Page 7 Performance Throughput up to 120 million pps up to 240 million pps up to 420 million pps Routing table size 4000000 entries (IPv4), 2000000 entries (IPv6) 4000000 entries (IPv4), 2000000 entries (IPv6) 4000000 entries (IPv4), 2000000 entries (IPv6) Forwarding table size 1000000 entries (IPv4), 1000000 entries (IPv6) 1000000 entries (IPv4), 1000000 entries (IPv6) 1000000 entries (IPv4), 1000000 entries (IPv6) Backplane bandwidth 1024 Gb/s 1024 Gb/s 2048 Gb/s On Sat, Mar 12, 2016 at 12:20 PM, Mikael Abrahamsson <swmike@swm.pp.se> wrote:

Does anyone deploy HP HSR routers for full BGP routing? Looks like they
have couple of routers that can hold 4 Million IPv4 routes, and do full BGP routing. I did no even know that HP had routers of this size.
Are you sure that's forwarding table size, not routing table size?
There are lots of platforms that will have large RIB but a lot smaller FIB.

"HP 6600 Router Series"
"Routing table size 1000000 entries (IPv4), 300000 entries (IPv6) Forwarding table size 1000000 entries (IPv4), 100000 entries (IPv6)"
I don't know if there is a typo somewhere, but it shows the difference between RIB and FIB.
