Well, they don't have a high number of ports...mine is a single hssi,
single fe, so you're only dealing with a few views at most.  We've got a
full eBGP view from uu.net on it, as well as an iBGP peer with our cisco
taking our other connections.  It handles it quite well...never seems to
have broken a sweat CPU-wise that I can tell.
