Hi,
We've been running a small AS with BIRD on Linux(debian) without any
issue in two years of production on two software routers so far:
http://bird.network.cz/
It uses less than 100MB of RAM per IPv4 DFZ, we run around 100 BGP
sessions in 350M of RAM (process virtual).
Looking glass developper by our members:
