BGP table version is 5943064, main routing table version 5943064 35739 network entries (60290/102278 paths) using 7298508 bytes of memory 5910 BGP path attribute entries using 680968 bytes of memory 3496 BGP route-map cache entries using 55936 bytes of memory 51 BGP filter-list cache entries using 816 bytes of memory Dampening enabled. 209 history paths, 93 dampened paths Well, I assume it will go to double until August to about 70000. that's why I am taking and promotin ga different strategy. The growth is clearly exponential. It took a small dip because of the end of the year festivities worldwide (pretty much every country has some stuff in holidays around end of december until end of Ramadan). Now we are back on track, my private curve fits again. This means to all who use routers to do transport *and* routing calculations/table management on memory bound devices: you're out of business on 10/1/1996. This is when 'the Internet' crashes. In reality, it is when all lemmings jump the final cliff, and only the 'bad' ones will prevail. Mike ( this is a private statement. Don't get me wrong! mypaycheck is not involved!)
