Hello,

We are running BIRD on a number of servers. It is configured with two BGP peers.

We are seeing BIRD using over a gig of memory, and this seems excessive, especially given the number of routes. ... Is there something we can do to reduce the memory usage? Or could this be a memory leak bug?

Hi This is definitely a memory leak, probably related to path merging. You are using current code from git or patched 1.5.0? I will try to reproduce it. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
