I would have said the same... i ought to know high-water marks for your inbound peer count(s), and can work out a +20% outbound... you also probably can survey your outbound peerings and +20% some high-water mark there, or make a 'meet in the middle' between the inbound-math and outbound-math.
But even if that is unruly, setting the outbound to, say, 300K or so would keep you from spilling a full table. Not perfect, but better than nothing. Orrrrrr, perhaps this feature is not for you? -- TTFN, patrick
