Its insane, I use BSD based routers and have little problems, I can
take up to 1 gig of memory in my routers...
I'm about to install 2 NetBSD routers to peer on the LINX, and
I'm hoping for the same uptimes for my NetBSD core routers:
NetBSD defender.router.EASYNET.NET 1.2_BETA NetBSD 1.2_BETA (ROUTER) #2: Sat Jul 13 03:25:14 BST 1996 neil@defender.router.easynet.co.uk:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ROUTER i386
6:55PM up 73 days, 6:17, 2 users, load averages: 0.06, 0.08, 0.08
GateD-defender.router.EASYNET.NET> show ip route
100 IP radix tree: 81032 nodes, 41812 routes
This router handles our internal BGP4 to our 3 border routers, and carries
a full routeing table, and will handle updates for the LINX.
"It works." If only more people would try it. :(
Regards,
Neil.
