I don't see any reasons you can't configure the machines for power efficiency as this should not make the system unstable. It will just impact how quickly BGP reconverges when there are large table changes. You could test and see how long it takes them to learn full tables from a clean slate and that would be your absolute worst case. I'm going to guess it'll be fine.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">To Brandon's point, are you configuring these machines as route servers? Or will they be in the path as full routers in your network? If they're just going to be route servers, I think you should be fine. If they're going to be "in the data path" as full routers, what sort of throughput are you desiring?</div><br></div><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace"></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace">~ Anthony</div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Apr 25, 2025 at 5:28 AM Brandon Z. <<a href="mailto:Brandon@huize.asia">Brandon@huize.asia</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Hi Mike,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div>The BIOS mode and BIRD configuration are unrelated — BIOS is just a system bootloader.
