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? --asp () uunet uu net (Andrew Partan)
Apples and oranges, probably, but Digital's routers in Palo Alto (a pair of AlphaStation 200s, each with 128MB of memory and a pair of FDDI boards) have a kernel routing table size of 8735 Kbytes (9178 Kbytes peak). The virtual size of the gated process is 27.9Mbytes. We get full routing tables from Alternet and BBN Planet, and however many AS paths CIX is supplying. From a gated dump I took on March 28th, I count 6517 AS paths. As of a couple minutes ago, we have 34662 BGP-supplied routes in our routing table.
