7206s need 64MB, in my experience, to take even one full view. 4x00s are more than fine. Something about I/O memory allocation, though even *that* doesn't fully explain it. The box seems to perform very well as a super-POP router, however. Avi
I hope the smiley face was omitted accidentally! The bug report was junked (by the way, we don't junk legitimate bug reports) because the router in question was a 7200 with 32M of memory taking full routing from several peers. It simply didn't have enough memory. There was no evidence of a memory leak. Needless to say, if there had been a leak, it would have had high priority. The gent who opened the bug report in the first place was "unfamiliar" with the environment. :-) Robert.

Notice the State. It is J - which stands for Junked - which means they will not fix this since it isn't viewed as an important problem. Hank
