I would second Ivan's comment. Unless you are a major transit operator (which beats the "small ISP" requirement), you don't really need a full view, and can do we a limited view with a default route. Arie On Sat, Jul 11, 2009 at 10:27 AM, Ivan Pepelnjak <ip () ioshints info> wrote:
Let me be the devil's advocate: why would you need full Internet routing? Taking reasonably sized neighborhoods of your upstreams (AS paths up to X AS numbers) plus a default to your best upstream might do the trick.

We don't have huge traffic levels (<1Gb) and are mostly running Ethernet interfaces to upstreams rather than legacy interfaces (when did OC3 become legacy?). Lot's of choices for routers that can handle the existing BGP tables - but not so much in small platforms (1-10Gb traffic) if you assume that IPv6 is going to explode the routing table in the next 5 years. The manufacturers still seem to think low traffic routers don't need much memory or CPU. What projections are you using regarding the default free zone over the next 5 years when picking new hardware? -- Mark Radabaugh Amplex 419.837.5015 x21 mark () amplex net
