BGP table size

[Валерий Н. Лутошкин]

Hi, Emerson,
 
For example, this is an actual Bird 1.6.7:
82968 of 82968 routes for 41553 networks
bird     22191  1.6  2.6 123740 107788
 
And this is the same In a different environment:
544703 of 544703 routes for 503219 networks
bird     22191  1.7  5.5 236172 220244
 
It is not a memory you should be concerned about. The main issue of bird with huge BGP tables is CPU – bird uses only one core.

Sorry, I think that I didn't explaim well in my first message.

I want to know if exist any information that tell me how much RAM memory 100k BGP prefix uses in Bird, for example.

I know Cisco uses between 28MB and 71MB of memory by 100k prefix [1]. So, I want to know if Bird has some information like this.

Thank you

Emerson

Hello!
BIRD has in concept no limit on number of routes and number of prefices.
It should scale quite well. If not, please let us know.
