Subject: Routing table growth We are starting to get reports from some of our (multihomed) customers that full routing tables will no longer fit in 32Meg routers. How many others are seeing this?
Yes ... we will be replacing most 32M routers. With 34k routes there's ~10M left in a 32M router, but this can turn into a squeeze when it's sending lots of updates to many peers. I've seen up to several hundred packets queued for each peer. So, for instance, 400 packets * 1500(?) bytes = 600kbytes per peer. With few peers, no problem; with more than a dozen, it's getting close to a no-go. -- ------ ___ --- Per G.
