Is there any research out there that tries to estimate how long it will be
before BGP routers with 128M of RAM start to choke on the routing table? I
know there are a lot of factors - the number of BGP peers, how much "other
stuff" the router is doing, etc. - I'm really looking for a ballpark
estimate, if one exists.
I'm trying to convince someone NOT to use a Cisco 2650 for BGP
multihoming, and my argument will, IMO, be a bit more effective if
I can say "you'll need to replace it within X months/years"...
