Routing Table Report 04:00 +10GMT Sat 08 Jan, 2005 Analysis Summary ---------------- BGP routing table entries examined: 153319 Prefixes after maximum aggregation: 89967Should it matter that in six months its gone from 140k to 153k? At this rate it might crack 200k in less than two years.
I think that's a matter that seems to be already decided. People want multihoming, redudnancy and such and are willing to put the burden on the global routing table as a result. The result, people are upgrading router memory to the max, lots of people have been asking recently about how much memory for a full routing table, etc.. I think the simple answer is: If you're using anything "recent" (ie: since 2001) you're going to want to use 256m at minimum and ideally 512m-1g of dram in your system with a reasonable cpu to process updates quickly. This is something that the market has really demanded (multihoming) so the result is a global impact. The statement "think globally, act locally" comes to mind, but it's a tough problem as everyone depends on their internet connectivity these days, so they want it to be as reliable as possible. - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared () puck nether net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
