Having hopelessly screwed up my facts ... I was trying to make a point here. So the router was worse than I thought. Retaing policies that exclude new players because of AGS+'s inability to handle large routing flaps just does not cut it. Sprint imposed this at a time when 7000s with 64M of memory where available. Will /19 remain policy when the majors are running with Cisco 12000 and GRFs?
Lots of stuff cut out.
BTW - If you use a route server to do the dampening and calculation of peer routes you can even make a wimpy CPUed 7000 handle backbone traffic.
This is what I beleave sprint is doing. They are using the new Cisco 12000 GSR with external router servers. It is a smart way of patching the problem. If you need more CPU or memory you can just add a bigger box and more RAM.
