Hi Mehdi,

Our setup consists of five full table routers (IPv6 as well) with
multiple upstream transit peers.

Memory used: 728 MiB. (We're still on 2.0.4 and yes we should upgrade.)

I guess it makes sense to check what processes are using this huge
amount of RAM. Maybe it's not BIRD but another process.

Regards,
Kees
